High School (SCI) Life Science Standards [LS1] From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
SCI-HS.LS1.04 Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms.
Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on conceptual understanding that mitosis passes on genetically identical materials via
replication, not on the details of each phase in mitosis. Disciplinary Core Ideas LS1.B: Growth and Development of
-In multicellular organisms, individual cells
grow and then divide via a process called
mitosis allowing the organism to grow. Each
parent cell passing identical genetic material
to both daughter cells. Cellular division and
differentiation produce and maintain a
