Draw the stages of the cell In order to achieve this we need to be
cycle to show: cell growth, able to:
duplication of chromosomes, • State why cells divide by mitosis
separation of chromosomes, • Describe what a chromosome is and
and division of the cell. where they are found in the cell.

Why are we learning this?

I.A.G: Molecular biologists earn on average £33,000
per year. They study how animal and plant cells work.
Cultural (S.M.S.C): Some cultures do not believe in
the idea of cells.
