Standard(s):
  • SC.912.L.16.14(2)describe the cell cycle, including the process of mitosis explain the role of mitosis in the formation of new cells and its importance in maintaining chromosome number during asexual reproduction.
  • SC.912.L.16.16(2)describe the process of meiosis, including independent assortment and crossing over. Explain how reduction division results in the formation of haploid gametes or spores.
  • SC.912.L.16.17 (3)compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis and relate to the processes of sexual and asexual reproduction and their consequences for genetic variation
  • SC.912.L.16.8 (2) explain the relationship between mutation, cell cycle, and uncontrolled cell growth potentially resulting in cancer.

LEARNING GOALS / STUDENT EVIDENCE
4 / In addition to level 3 the student will be able to research scientific contributions to cancer research and major scientific discoveries in the field / Research the following questions:
1. Who was Henrietta Lacks?
2. Describe her medical condition.
3. Describe why she is important to medicine in the past, present and future.
4. Do you feel that Henrietta was treated ethically for that time in history?
