Whitefish Embryo

[ Start Page | Root Tip Page ]

Whitefish embryos are commonly used in the study of mitosis due to their rapid cell division and relatively large and transparent cells, which make it easier to observe the stages of mitosis under a microscope.

For each image, sketch the cell that is highlighted and identify the stage the cell is in. (If you need a quick refresher on the stages, go to http://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm )
