Mitosis project

For this you will complete the parts on  the mitosis tutorial and the Onion Root Tip - online activity.  This is similar to the sheet that you got, but you can click on the links instead of having to type in the addresses.  To go to the link you have to hold the Ctrl key as you click on the link.  Please write your answers on the paper sheet.  Please note that the order is slightly different on the sheets and online.
