Question
Chapter 16.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason why humans are not composed of similar or identical cells in spite of being a product of many mitotic divisions.
Introduction:
Mitosis is a type of cell division, which results in the formation of two identical daughter cells. It only occurs in vegetative cells and the ploidy of the cells remains the same. So, it is also called equational division. The whole process of mitosis completes in four phases, namely, prophase (I phase), metaphase (II phase), anaphase (III phase), and telophase (IV phase).

Q1: Do all cells in an organism enter each stage of mitosis at the same time? (Hint: See image of onion root tip at far left in the figure.) Q2: What happens between the end of interphase and early prophase that changes the appearance of the chromosomes? Q3: Explain in your own words the role of the mitotic spindle in mitosis.
MAKE CONNECTIONS As you learned in Chapter 12,mitosis gives rise to two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Yet you, the product ofmany mitotic divisions, are not composed of identical,zygote-like cells. Why?
Mitosis DrawingIn this assignment you will track and draw the chromosomes of a diploid organism through all the stages of mitosis. Make sure to draw the alleles for genes A and B on the chromatids in every stage. For mitosis, remember that many events are going on in the cell that are relevant besides just the movement of chromosomes, so please fill in the cell with pertinent structures such as centrioles and spindles.
