  1. Gecko Tail Cell Division By: Matt Connors and Colin Maguire

  2. About a Gecko • Scientific Name: Gekkonidae • Kingdom : Animal • Species: Reptile • Genus: 4 Legged lizard, long tail, long body,scaly skin, and camouflaged skin that varies in color. • Gecko’s contain eukaryotic cells because there cells have a nucleus.

  3. Gecko’s Tails Fall off!? • Yes, Gecko’s tails can really just fall off. • When a Gecko feels threated by a predator, he is able to release his tail hoping that his tail will entice the predator. • When I Gecko’s tail falls off he is able to grow one with the help of mitosis.

  4. 4 Phases of Mitosis M Phase: This contains 4 sub-phases 1st Phase:Prophase -nuclear membrane disintegrates and chromatin forms chromosomes

  5. 4 Phases of Mitosis 2nd Phase: Metaphase -Chromosomes a line at the cell equator.

  6. 4 Phases of Mitosis 3rd Phases: Anaphase -Sister chromosomes separate outward from each other.

  7. 4 Phases of Mitosis 4th Phase: Telophase -Chromosomes reach the end of each cell. Then nuclear membranes form around them. Also the cell undergoes cytokenesis where the cell divides in to two separate cells.

  8. Matt Connors’ Fun Fact • “Geckos can also grow back all of their Limbs!”

  9. How Can this Help today? • Learning more about the reproduction of cells can help find new ways to reproduce human cells. • Studying the Gecko’s ability to regrow all of their limbs can help scientist find a way to reproduce human organisms • This would help babies that are born with out certain boby parts or people who have lost certain body parts.
