- Interphase -G1
- Interphase - S
- Interphase -G2
- Prophase
- Prometaphase
- Metaphase

3. Go to http://www.biology.arizona.edu. Click on Activities (left hand side)àCell BiologyOnion Root Tips. Read background information on Mitosis. Click on Next until you come to the Online Onion Root Tips assignment. Click on Next to begin. Program will guide you through. You will be asked to identify various stages of mitosis. The program will tell you if you are right or wrong. It will also tell you why you are wrong. Go through the complete set of pictures.
Complete the table below and within a paragraph or two tell me what you discovered about mitosis based on your activity results.
