This study revealed biology student teachers have a series of significant problems regarding the concepts of cell division and structuring of such concepts in a meaningful manner. These problems are mainly associated with meiosis rather than mitosis. The students confuse the stages of the cell division process and the events occurring at these stages with each other. Misconceptions revealed in this study showed that students have conceptual difficulties in explaining the phenomena that require a good understanding of cell division concepts, such as cell cycle-cell division, mitosis-meiosis, haploid-diploid cells, sister chromatids-homologous chromosomes, centrosome-centrioles, and spindle fiberschromatin. The students mostly focus on cell division with animal cells and disregard cell division with plant cells.
