Eukaryotic Cell Division Lab
Eukaryotic Cell Division
Cells must continually grow and divide in order for an organism to grow, maintain its structure, and reproduce. Cell division involves the replication, or copying, of the complete set of hereditary information. It also involves the equal distribution of the genetic material in the resulting cells. The hereditary information of organisms is contained in large molecules called deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA.
Objectives Upon completion of this laboratory you will be able to: 1. list the similarities and differences between mitosis and meiosis. 2. describe and recognize the stages of mitosis under a microscope or on models. 3. know the events that occur during each stage of mitosis and meiosis. 4. define the boldface terms.

Time spent in mitotic stages.
