Questions:

A. What types of cells use mitosis for division? List at least three types and provide a two- to

three-sentence description of when and why these cells undergo mitosis.

B. Explain why interphase must precede any type of cell division.

Exercise 2: observing Mitosis

OMIT

Exercise 3: Time for Cell Replication

Observations:

Use the following website to do the procedure instead of the slides.

http://www.biology.arizona.edu/cell_bio/activities/cell_cycle/cell_cycle.html

Fill in FIELD #1, Percent of total cells counted, and time in each stage.

Data Table 1: Observation data for cellular mitotic cycle. Sample class data/ actual data will vary. This data was taken from a large field of view.
