Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The different levels of the body organization are described below:

Chemical level:

The chemical levels of the organization include the atoms and the molecules, that combine together in an arranged manner to form a cell as well as all the body structures.

Cells:

The cells are the basic functional and structural unit of life. An organism can have either a single cell or multiple cells. If something lacks cellular organization, they cannot be considered as living. A cell is capable of performing all the functions essential for life.

Tissue:

The tissue is the group of cells performing similar functions and hasthe same structure. In a multicellular organism, they perform a particular role inthe maintenance of normal physiology.

Organ:

Many tissues together form organs. The organs are the cluster of tissues which perform a self-contained and self-vital function. Different tissues in the organs perform a different function, which is essential to carry out various physiological processes.

Organ system:

The organ system is the group of organs, which is involved in carrying out a specific physiological process. For example,the digestive system has various organs and is responsible for digestion in the organism.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
