Lab Write Up Instructions Mitosis/Meiosis Intro: Distinguish between functions of mitosis and meiosis. Include chart that compares stages of mitosis to meiosis. Hypotheses: one regarding amount of time spent in stages of mitosis -whatever you think that will be two regarding % crossovers you might anticipate in Sordaria   (later we'll discuss reasons for crossover rates-for now remember how crossovers happen-do they  occur 100% of the time based on your understanding of crossovers?) Method: counting and how numbers calculated Results 2 charts showing counts and calculations Conclusions refer to hypotheses: in your opinion, why does cell spend most time in interphase?   Why in the next longest stage? In your opinion, why do crossovers occur less than 50% of the time?
This is chart I want to see in introduction-you fill in blanks.
