- Biology Name: Date: Period: Mitosis Worksheet The diagram below shows six cells in various phases of the cell cycle. Note the cells are not arranged in the order in which mitosis occurs and one of the phases of mitosis occurs twice. Use the diagram to answer questions 1-7. Phases of the Cell Cycle 1) Cells A and F show an early and a late stage of the same phase of mitosis. What phase is it? 2) Which cell is in metaphase? 3) Which cell is in the first phase of mitosis? 4) In cell A, what structure is labeled X? 5) Which cell is in the "in between" phase of mitosis? 6) Place the diagrams in order from first to last. 7) Are the cells depicted plant or animal cells? Explain your answer. 8) What is the longest phase of the cell cycle? 9) Why is mitosis important?arrow_forwardCompare and contrast the following terms: Anaphase and telophasearrow_forwarda. Explain how mitosis and meiosis are similar in their processes or mechanism using two examples. b. Explain how mitosis and meiosis are different in their processes or mechanism using two examples. **Please stay away from superficial statements such as both are a type of cell division. We are asking for a more detailed example based on how the cells proceed through the processes which has been highlighted in discussions, videos, and readings.arrow_forward
- Differentiate between mitotic cell division and meiotic cell division in terms of their products.arrow_forwardThe image below is of a stained onion root tip. Determine the phase of mitosis that each cell below is in, and record that below. Look closely - cells that are clearly stained are numbered in the image below. Use those numbers when assigning the phase of mitosis for each cell. Using the same onion root tip image and data from the question above, which phase are the majority of cells in? Make a conclusion about what this means about the length of each phase of the cell cycle.arrow_forwardDescribe the role of the following structures or proteins in cell division: a. microtubules b. cohesin protein c. kinetochores d. synaptonemal complexarrow_forward
