Summary:
Discussion questions to help guide students examining a graph of number of mitoses vs time for planaria injured or had amputations of their tails.
Description
A graph of the number of mitosis following an incision or amputation in planaria is provided. The biological content covered is stem cells, mitosis, regeneration, and wound healing. A student handout is provided and contains a link to the original manuscript for the data point, a link to a video on planarian regeneration, summary background information, and questions that can be answered that relate to reading a graph and interpreting the information for its biological significance.
