MITOSIS MICROSLIDE VIEWER LAB DAY 1

In the past 2 days we have studied and learned the stages of cell development and growth.
The process in which cells divide and make new living cells is called Mitosis.
Mitosis has 5 distinct phases.

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Teleophase.

The next step to follow would be cell division a seperate process to complete the formation of two cells.

**IPMAT** each of these stages has unique and important role and function in creating an identical copy of the pre-existing cell. (a daughter cell)

Today's class as well as tomorrow you will be using premade slides to view the different stages of mitosis in a plant. Remember there are difference between plant and animal cells and their organelles, so becareful when labelling them appropriatley.

Use your notes from the course kit, text and microslide booklets to fill in the blanks of the lab.

This lab will take us two days to complete as you will have to draw and label the cells that you view in the circle (field of view) in your lab booklets.

Here is a web site that will help make them more clear to see in real living cells
