We are going to be looking at onion root tip slides with our microscopes to see cells that are going through the process of mitosis. Since cells go through this process all the time, we will be able to see different phases going on in the same root.
Why do you think we are using root tips to explore mitosis?
Here is a weblink to do the lab online http://www.biology.arizona.edu/Cell_BIO/activities/cell_cycle/cell_cycle.html
Here is a vocabulary page to help you with terms http://www.biology.arizona.edu/vocabulary/mitosis_meiosis/mitosis_meiosis.html
