I graduated with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biochemistry with a minor in Chemistry and Animal and Poultry Science from Virginia Tech. I am currently a fifth year PhD candidate in the Molecular Pharmacology Graduate Program at the University of Pittsburgh. My thesis work is focused on cancer cell biology. In my second year of graduate school, I was selected to serve as a Teaching Assistant for the intro course to my umbrella program, Foundations of Biomedical Science. My strengths are in Cellular Biology, however I have chemistry experience.
List some similarities and differences between mitosis and meiosis. Which differences do you think are most important and why?
A cell has a circular chromosome and no nuclear membrane. Its DNA is complexed to some histone proteins. Does this cell belong to a eubacterium, archaea, or eukaryote? Explain your reasoning.

How many chromosomes and DNA molecules will be found per cell when this original cell progresses to the following stages? a. $G_{2}$ of interphaseb. Metaphase I of meiosisc. Prophase of mitosisd. Anaphase I of meiosise. Anaphase II of meiosisf. Prophase II of meiosisg. A fter cytokinesis following mitosish. A fter cytokinesis following meiosis II
