Interphase in Plant and Animal Cells

Description
Mitosis. Micrographs here and opposite
show cells from a plant (onion root, left), and an animal (whitefish
embryo, right). This page, interphase cells are shown for comparison,
but interphase is not part of mitosis.
Opposite page, the stages of mitosis. The drawings show a diploid
(2n) animal cell. For clarity, only two pairs of chromosomes
are illustrated, but nearly all eukaryotic cells have more than two.
The two chromosomes of the pair inherited from one parent are
pink; the two chromosomes from the other parent are blue.
