The purpose of the cell reproduction laboratory is to explore the similarities and differences between the cell cycle of normal cells and cancer cells. During the course of the experiment, three types of tissues, lung, stomach and ovary, were observed. Normal and cancerous cells were examined under a microscope and the phases of the cells were recorded in a data table. The experiment proved that cancer cells have a greater amount of division going on within the cell than normal cells. This can be explained because the cell performs differently due to the mutation being present.
Experimental Procedure: This experiment was conducted using an online virtual Biology laboratory. After clinking on the link provided, a window opened up showing a microscope on the right side and a slide carousel on the left. After clicking on the microscope a normal lung tissue sample was displayed.
