Eukaryotes cannot divide by binary fission like prokaryotes. An online lab and observing onion root tips can be used to create a pie chart showing the relative lengths of the stages of mitosis. Mitosis ensures genetically identical daughter nuclei by evenly distributing identical copies of chromosomes to both daughter cells during cell division.

8. How long do cells spend in each stage of mitosis?
Produce a pie-chart of the stages by using this online lab:
