 * Objective: || describe the processes of mitosis and meiosis ||


 * Focusing Question: || What cellular processes allow for growth and reproduction of an organism? ||

i.e., haploidy, diploidy and polyploidy || cytokinesis || to organism inheritance and development || generations in a range of organisms; //e.g., Daphnia//, //sea anemone, moss, pine.// ||
 * 30–C1.1k || define and explain the significance of chromosome number in somatic and sex cells;
 * 30–C1.2k || explain, in general terms, the events of the cell cycle; i.e., interphase, mitosis and
 * 30–C1.3k || describe the process of meiosis (spermatogenesis and oogenesis) and the necessity for the reduction of chromosome number ||
 * 30–C1.4k || compare the processes of mitosis and meiosis ||
 * 30–C1.5k || describe the processes of crossing over and nondisjunction and evaluate their significance
