Introduction
For organisms to grow and reproduce, cells must divide. Mitosis and meiosis are both processes of cell division, but their outcomes are very different.

In this laboratory, you will:
1. Study the process of mitosis in plant and/or animal cells using slides of onion root tips or whitefish blastulae
2. Review the process of meiosis in a simulation activity with beads, and then investigate crossing over during meiosis in a fungus
