-Photo of onion root tip cells undergoing interphase or mitosis here

-Work with lab partners to finish Mitosis Lab (due 4/9)

-Record your Mitotic Index on the class data sheet

*Points of clarification on Mitosis Lab:
-The total number of cells you count should be around 50, as indicated on page 1 of your lab packet under procedure step 3.

-Cells with a only a darker, round nucleus visible are in INTERPHASE
-Cells showing various versions of unwound, separated strings of chromosomes are in MITOSIS
(refer to the photos at the bottom of page 1 or the middle of page 2 of lab packet for clarification if you have a hard time differentiating the phases of the cells)

-(From page 2) "The meristematic region in the root tip is the actively growing region and thus the mitotic index is high" compared to other regions of the plant

-Read page 4 'Mitosis & the cell cycle' and go over flow chart
together (used to understand the amount of time a cell spends in interphase versus mitosis)

-Why do you think you saw most cells in interphase???

-Turn in lab packet for 30 points before you leave

-Tomorrow: finish 10.2 & do 10.3 Regulation of Cell Growth & Division
