RE9.2
Observe and describe the significance of cellular reproductive processes, including mitosis and meiosis.
Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Observe and describe cell division (e.g., binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis) using microscopes, prepared slides, and/or videos.

(b)

Construct a visual, dramatic, or other representation of the basic process of cell division as part of the cell cycle, including what happens to the cell membrane and the contents of the nucleus.

(c)

Recognize that the nucleus of a cell determines cellular processes.

(d)

Identify major shifts in scientific understanding of cell growth and division, including the role of microscopes and related technologies.

(e)

Explain how the cell theory accounts for cell division.

(f)

Compare binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis, and distinguish between cell division processes during meiosis and mitosis including the creation of diploid and haploid cells.

(g)

Relate cancer to cellular processes.

Mitosis
The DVD explains mitosis as a four-phase process. Before mitosis begins, the DNA replicates. The program shows mitosis occurring in an animal cell and then in a plant cell. There is effective use of computer animation and microscopy of the nucleus within the live cells. The DVD is divided into three segments for classroom use.

Pearson Saskatchewan Science 9. Student Text
Pearson Saskatchewan Science 9 is custom published for Saskatchewan and developed by a team of Saskatchewan teachers. At the beginning of each unit, the "Big Ideas" box sets the focus for the unit. A Big Idea then provides the title for each section in the unit. Throughout the unit, opportunities are provided for students to work together, communicate ideas, perform experiments and carry out library and Internet research. Key vocabulary is bolded throughout the unit and an explanation of each term is provided. All key terms and explanations are also listed in a glossary at the back of the book. First Nations and Métis content, perspectives, and ways of knowing are an integral part of the Saskatchewan science textbook. Highlights of the activities and achievements of Saskatchewan men and women are provided in the "Ask an Elder," "Ask an Expert," and "Careers and Profiles" features. In each unit, the "Ask an Elder" feature provides access to the wisdom of a First Nations or Métis Elder or Traditional Knowledge Keeper, who shares an oral story related to the content of that unit.

Life Processes of Plants
This DVD touches on the classification of plants and on the role of plants as producers in an ecosystem. It examines plant cells in relation to animal cells and explains the process of photosynthesis. Sexual and asexual reproduction in plants are illustrated using diagrams, animations and photographs.
Teachers should select portions of the program that relate directly to specific learning outcomes.

The Reproductive System
Beginning with a discussion of sexual reproduction at the molecular and cellular level, this volume of the Encyclopedia of the Human Body from the Human Body Systems Series discusses the reproductive organs, hormones, conception through childbirth and development after birth including puberty.
The history of research on the reproductive system is presented and the future of research in this field is considered. Current controversies and dilemmas are also explored. Reproductive system diseases and disorders, symptoms and treatments are discussed, including infertility, sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV and AIDS, complications with pregnancy and genetic diseases such as Huntington's disease. This book includes a glossary, resources for further information and contact information for organizations and national health institutions.

Microscopes and Mutants
The actions of chromosomes during mitosis, meiosis and fertilization, as discovered in 19th century Germany, are explained in this video. These microscopic findings, together with the rediscovery of Mendel's long-lost research in 1900, gave birth to the Chromosomal Theory of Heredity. Sex chromosomes, X-linked recessive traits, linkages, crossovers and gene mapping are also discussed.
