2.4.1 Cell Activities \Packaged\ sequences (cascades) of cell activities/functions with an identifiable beginning and an end 2.4.1.1 Mitosis(Proliferation) Mitosis is a complex of processes leading to the division of a cell such that the two daughter nuclei receive identical complements of the number of chromosomes characteristic of the cells of the species. All cells arise from the division of pre-existing cells. The process of mitosis is divided into four phases:

TISSUE Tissue is a biological structure made up of cells of the same type. - Cells of the same phenotype(e., same genes expressed). An aggregation of morphologically similar cells and associated extracellular matrix acting together to perform one or more specific functions in the body. - There are four basic types of tissue: muscle, nerve, epithelia, and connective. An organ is a structure made up of or more tissues

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), is the herpesvirus that causes infectious mononucleosis and is associated with a number of cancers, particularly lymphomas in immunosuppressed persons including persons with AIDS EBV is a ubiquitous virus, so common that it has been difficult to determine whether it is the cause of certain diseases or whether it is simply there as an artifact

When the only force acting on a particle is always directed to- wards a fixed point, the motion is called central force motion. This type of motion is particularly relevant when studying the orbital movement of planets and satellites. The laws which gov- ern this motion were first postulated by Kepler and deduced from observation. In this lecture, we will see that these laws are a con- sequence of Newton's second law. An understanding of central
