  1. How do cells multiply? Katie Nemeth Claudette Davis Peter Cavnar Greg Beitel Cell/Developmental Biology Group The Cyclers Vet Dozier Stanley Lo Steve Chordas, III

  2. Course: Introduction to Biology (Majors) Class Size: 55+ students Module: Cell Biology, two-week (6 lectures) teachable unit on cell cycle First class of the unit What do students know already? Nucleotides, DNA, chromosomes, and organelles Students will learn about the cell cycle. Background of the Class (for SI participants only)

  3. The Cell Cycle Who cares?

  4. How does cell division relate to human health? Down Syndrome: 1 in 800 babies born in US Cancer: 23% of all deaths in US in 2007 resulted from cancer

  5. What will we learn today? • We will be able to explain why each of the phases of the cell cycle occur in the order that they do

  6. How will we learn how cells divide? Overview: In small groups (two groups per table) we will: • Brainstorm to determine what the most basic events the cell must undergo to achieve division • Generate a common list of events • Determine the order in which the events occur

  7. Brainstorm Question… Come up with a list of actions or events that an animal cell must undergo to achieve division. 2 minutes

  8. Work in your groups to arrange the notes in the order that would make the cell divide… (3 min)

  12. Where do we go from here? Today • We will be able to sequence the events of the cell cycle and explain why each of the phases occur in the order that they do Rest of Teachable Unit • To know what checkpoints and their functions are • To understand the functions of cyclins and CDKs (e.g. concentrations at different stages of cell cycle, different specificities, activities regulated by other proteins) • Mitosis: what is it and what is the outcome? • What actions occur to move the chromosomes and divide the two cells? • To understand diseases related to the cell cycle relate to diseases
