3. were there any stages of the cell cycle that you did not observe? how can you explain this using evidence from the cell cycle? 4. as a cell grows, what happens to its surface area to volume ratio? (hint: think of a balloon being blown up). how does this ratio change with respect to cell division? 5. what is the function of mitosis in a cell that is about to divide? 6. what would happen if mitosis were uncontrolled? 7. how accurate were your time predictions for each stage of the cell cycle? 8. discuss one observation that you found interesting while looking at the onion root tip cells.

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. in some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. if these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. this would be an example of the founder effect artificial selection genetic drift natural selection sexual selection
