Mitosis - Internet Lesson

In this internet lesson, you will review the steps of mitosis and view video simulations of cell division. You will also view an onion root tip and calculate the percentage of cells at each of the stages of cell division.

"ead the te#t on this page and view the animation, you can slow down the video by clicking step by step through the phases. $. In which stage does the following occur% &hromatin condenses into chromosomes &hromosomes align in center of cell.
