Utilization of student drawings and interviews together with an appropriate sample size ensured determination of numerous alternative points of view that biology student teachers possess in relation to cell division. The findings gained from the drawings and the interviews show that a majority of the students cannot establish accurate
relationships between cell cycle and cell division. It was observed that the students participating in this study are not able to establish conceptual relations associated with mitosis and meiosis, and possess a complicated knowledge frame. For example, these students were observed to be in conceptual confusion, particularly between the concepts related to the cell cycle-cell division, mitosis-meiosis, haploid-diploid cells, sister chromatids-homologous chromosomes, centrosomecentrioles-centromere, and spindle fibers-chromatinchromatid-chromosome. These findings support the studies conducted previously in regards to this subject matter (Kindfield, 1994; Smith, 1991).
