Document Summary
Steps of the scientific method: make observations, ask questions, generate hypotheses, make predictions, test hypotheses with experiments/observations. Stating the research and null hypotheses and selecting (setting) alpha. Focus on how meiosis and mitosis differ from one another: analyze/interpret results w. r. t. hypotheses (support or reject) Selecting the sampling distribution and specifying the test statistic: computing the test statistic, making a decision and interpreting the results. Interphase - the cell is engaged in metabolic activity and performing its prepare for mitosis (the next four phases that lead up to and include nuclear division). Chromosomes are not clearly discerned in the nucleus, although a dark spot called the nucleolus may be visible. The cell may contain a pair of centrioles (or microtubule organizing centers in plants) both of which are organizational sites for microtubules. Prophase - chromatin in the nucleus begins to condense and becomes visible in the light microscope as chromosomes.
