Answer the questions on each page in your lab notebook or print this first page and answer direction on it. View slide images of a whitefish blastula and an onion root to see cells in various stages of mitosis. Answer the questions as you read the introduction and view the slides.
Observing Mitosis Lab. Background: In a growing plant root, the cells at the tip of the root are constantly dividing to allow the root to grow. Because each cell divides independently of the others, a root tip contains cells at different stages of the cell cycle.
In this internet lesson, you will review the steps of mitosis and meiosis and view video simulations of cell division. You will also view an onion root tip and calculate the percentage of cells at each of the stages of cell division .
Mitosis worksheets along with cell cycle and cell division worksheets for high school, middle school, and elementary school life science teachers. The mitosis worksheet lets students review the phases of the cell cycle and their purposes.
Here, we provide an activity to reinforce student knowledge of mitosis, demonstrate how data on mitosis and other dynamic cellular processes can be collected, and introduce methods of data analysis for real cellular images using research-quality digital images from a free public database.
