Viewing Mitosis & More!
Use the Onion Root Tip and Whitefish Blastula slides to locate cells in various phases of the cell cycle, and mitosis. There are also photos of the slides in various stages on pp. 99 & 100 . Make a detailed, labeled sketch of a representative cell in the right hand box, and a description of the stage in the left hand box.
