Cell Division: Mitosis and Meiosis Lab Quiz

1. Mitosis

   • The process by which a somatic cell divides to form two NEW genetically identical cells http://highered.mheducation.com/sites/9834092339/student_view0/chapter10/mitosis.html
   • PROPHASE, METAPHASE, ANAPHASE, TELOPHASE
     • Onion Root Tip
   • PROPHASE, METAPHASE, ANAPHASE, TELOPHASE
     • Fish Blastula (Egg)
   • Somatic
     • All tissues that comprise the body of an organism,  with the exception of those organs that produce gametes. MITOSIS = somatic cell division.
