Lab completion checklist:

· Watch the Intro to Mitosis video

· Watch the pre-lab video on mitosis

· Watch the animal and plant mitosis videos to see how to identify phases of mitosis

· Use the interactive microscope to find the phases of mitosis in animals and plants.

Intro Mitosis

This video will cover an introduction to mitosis including parts of the cell cycle and cytokinesis.

Using our old friend the microscope interactive, click on Explore and choose one of the animal cells called whitefish (any of them will do). Zoom in as far as you can with a clear image and find 4 screenshots: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase in that order (make cure the cell is centered or circle it in the screenshot so I know which cell you are referencing. Place the 4 screenshots here:
