Mitosis Activity
Below are the pictures of the phases of mitosis and labeled diagrams of the phases. Cut them out and paste
them on a piece of colored paper in the correct order. The names of the phases, in the correct order, are:
Interphase, (prior to mitosis) prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Write a caption for each
phase. For the conclusion, answer the questions.
