Module 11: Mitosis
Lab 11: Mitosis
Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle process by which chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes, each in its own nucleus. Mitosis has several phases during the cell cycle. The experiment obligated pictures of onion root tips under the microscope. The pictures had cells and chromosomes. The pictures also had different phases of mitosis in them. As my hypothesis, cells stay in the interphase the longest.
To begin the experiment, there were pictures of the microscopic cells of an onion root tip. There are four images, each displaying a different view. First I needed to pick one of the images, count the number of cells in each stage. And then count the number of cells in the whole image.
