**Educational Content: Mitosis and Meiosis Cellular Reproduction**

**Lab Exercise 1**

**Table 8-1. Mitotic Index (3 points)**

| Phase     | # of Cells | % of Total | Class Totals | % of Total |
|-----------|------------|------------|--------------|------------|
| Interphase| 187        | 86.98%     | 598          | 67.65%     |
| Prophase  | 11         | 5.11%      | 153          | 17.31%     |
| Metaphase | 7          | 3.26%      | 26           | 2.94%      |
| Anaphase  | 3          | 1.40%      | 13           | 1.47%      |
| Telophase | 7          | 3.26%      | 94           | 10.63%     |
| **Totals**| **215**    | **100%**   | **884**      | **100%**   |

**Questions and Answers:**

1. **Based on the data that you collected in Table 8-1, which phase was observed in the most cells?**

   *Answer:* Interphase

2. **What explanation can you provide for your answer to question 1?**

   *Answer:* Not all cells divide at once.

3. **How did your results differ from the class data for each phase of mitosis?**

   This question prompts the student to compare their individual results to the class data, analyzing the differences in percentage and number of cells observed in each phase of mitosis.

**Graph/Diagram Explanation:**

The table provides a comparison between individual observations and class totals of cells in various phases of the cell cycle. Interphase is shown to have the highest percentage of cells in both individual and class data, reflecting its long duration in the cell cycle.

Introduction 

The process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells is known as cell division. Usually, cell division happens as part of a longer cell cycle. There are two different types of cell division in eukaryotes: a vegetative division (mitosis), in which each daughter cell inherits the genetic makeup of the parent cell, and a reproductive division (gametogenesis), in which the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is cut in half to produce haploid gametes (meiosis).
