Eukaryotic Cell Cycle

Today we finished up the first section on how a cell prepares to divide and moved into the Eukaryotic cell cycle.  We started with the following daily questions.  After that, these are some of the slides that we used to answer the cell reproduction and Eukaryotic cell cycle notes.

Which Cell provides the most efficient surface-area to volume ratio and WHY?

the FIRST cell (the smallest) because it would have the largest surface area to volume ratio.  This is important because molecules are moving into and out of the cell all the time, and the more surface area there is for substances to travel the more efficient the cell would be.   

 Before a cell can divide what must the cell make a copy of?

ALL of the DNA found in the cell must be copied so that each new cell has a full copy (not just half)

Draw out what a duplicated chromosome would look like labeling the different parts.  Then describe how the two sides are related.
