    Mitosis is easily observed in cells that are growing at a rapid pace such as whitefish blastula or onion root tips, which was used in this lab experiment. The root tips contain and area called the apical meristem that has the highest percentage of cells undergoing mitosis. The whitefish blastula is formed directly after the egg is fertilized. This is a period of rapid growth and numerous cellular divisions where mitosis can be observed. In mitosis the cell is in interphase, and have a distinct nucleus and nucleoli where the thin threads of chromatin thicken into distinct chromosomes and the nuclear evvelope breaks open releasing them into the cytoplasm. The firs signs of the spindle begin to appear, next the cell begins metaphase, where the spindle attaches to the Centromere of each chromosome and moves them to the same level in the middle of the cell. This level position is called the metaphase plate. Anaphase begins when the chromatids are separated and pulled to opposite poles, then the final stage is telophase. The nuclear envelope is reformed and the chromosomes gradually uncoil. Cytokinesis may occur, in which, a cleavage furrow will form and the two daughter cells will separate. Meiosis is more complex and involves two nuclear divisions. The…

    My hypothesis proved to be correct for the part. Recognizing the stages of mitosis was not as easy as expected. There were many cells and we had to look for key features of each stage. For example, we identified a cell in metaphase because we noticed that the chromosomes seemed to be lined up at the center. As can be seen on table 3.1 on page 34 of the lab interphase was occurring in the most number of cells for each field of the onion root tip. Most of the cells were in interphase; therefore, interphase is the longest stage. The next largest group was prophase, indicating this phase is the second longest. The three remaining were close in number but varied which indicated that all those stages happen quickly. The frequency of a crossover occurring between two particular genes on the same chromosome increases as the distance between those genes becomes larger. The frequency of crossover therefore, appears to be…
