Semantic Feature Analysis
Students using semantic feature analysis will diagram the relationship of the stages of Mitotic Division of
an animal cell by considering how these stages are alike and different. Students should keep in mind key
vocabulary concepts and structures listed in the horizontal row and how they relate to each stage of
Mitotic division and its end products.
