IB Biology SL D2.1.8 Identification of mitosis phases
Practise reading onion root tip micrographs to recognise mitosis phases and count cells in metaphase from visible chromosome arrangements.
How this is tested
- interpret micrographs of dividing root tip cells to choose the mitosis phase shown
- count cells in metaphase from a labelled field of view or whole micrograph
- use visible chromosome position to distinguish metaphase from other mitosis stages
