The Cell Cycle: Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis

This guide details the observations of plant cells during various stages of the cell cycle using light microscopy. Starting with low power magnification (100x) to locate the root tip, we progress to high power (400x and 1000x) to study cells in Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis. Each phase is highlighted with purple arrows indicating key cellular structures and changes, such as chromosome alignment and the formation of the cell plate during Telophase, marking the onset of Cytokinesis.

  1. The Cell Cycle: Interphase, Mitosis and Cytokinesis Plant Cell

  2. 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.

  3. High Power (400x) • This is the root tip under high power.

  4. Interphase (400x) • The purple arrows are pointing at cells in Interphase. Most cells will be in Interphase

  5. Prophase (400x) • The purple arrow is pointing to a cell in prophase.

  6. Metaphase (400x) • The purple arrows are pointing at cells in Metaphase. Notice how the chromosomes are lined up across the center of the cell.

  7. Metaphase (1000x) • The purple arrow is pointing to a cell in

  8. Metaphase (1000x) • The purple arrow is pointing to a cell in

  9. Anaphase (400x) • The purple arrow is pointing at a cell in Anaphase

  10. 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.
