The Cell Cycle: Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis Plant Cell
Low Power (100x) You will only be observing the plant cells under high power. You want to first focus at the root tip under lower power. The purple arrow is pointing at the root tip.
High Power (400x) This is the root tip under high power.
Interphase (400x) The purple arrows are pointing at cells in Interphase. Most cells will be in Interphase
Prophase (400x) The purple arrow is pointing to a cell in prophase.
Metaphase (400x) The purple arrows are pointing at cells in Metaphase. Notice how the chromosomes are lined up across the center of the cell.
Metaphase (1000x) The purple arrow is pointing to a cell in
Metaphase (1000x) The purple arrow is pointing to a cell in
Anaphase (400x) The purple arrow is pointing at a cell in Anaphase
Telophase (400x) The purple arrow is pointing to a cell in Telophase. Notice how the cell plate is beginning to form between the two nuclei; this is the beginning of Cytokinesis.
