Lab Report: Mitosis
Part 1
Directions: Make a sketch of a representative cell in each of the four stages
of mitosis in the space provided below.
Prophase
(Sketch here)
Metaphase
(Sketch here)
Anaphase
(Sketch here)
Telophase
(Sketch here)
1. Are some cells longer than others? If yes, which phase are these cells in?
2. Are there any cells in the process of cell division in the onion cells seen on
page 3 of the mitosis lab lesson?
