Making your own __squash slides__
With a few layers of toilet paper on the coverslip and press hard with your thumb on it. The final slide look something like this: ||

Root Tip Mitosis 1. Find and draw a cell showing each stage of mitosis. 2. What is a distinguishing **visible** feature of each stage of mitosis? Prophase: Metaphase: Anaphase: Telophase: 3. Many of the cells of the root meristem are not undergoing mitosis, rather they are in a stage called ___. Based upon the interpretations made above, interphase appears to be much__ _ (shorter / longer) than mitosis. What processes occur in interphase cell prior to the onset of mitosis? 4. Once cell division ends, the cells will exist the cell cycle and enter the__ stage. Why is it incorrect to say that these cells are “resting”? ||
