Part I: MITOSIS IN PLANT CELLS
Observe the onion root tip under low power of your
microscope. Phases of mitosis can be best observed in the
area between the tip of the root and where the cells
elongate.

PART II: MITOSIS IN ANIMAL CELLS
Observe the whitefish slide to identify different phases of
mitosis.
In the spaces below, DRAW AND LABEL one animal
cell in each stage of mitosis.
