Write a lab report on the following findings with regards to the mitotic index of onion cells and how this is affected by the addition of garlic extract. The template below can be used to support your work.
Introduction: In this lab, you will examine the dividing root-tip cells of an onion. You will examine the specimen to identify the various phases of the cell cycle, to see which phases cells spend
We are able to identify each stage of the mitosis process which is interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase of the growing onion root tip cell by observing the processes between the plant cells.
Why onion root tip for lab experiment? The onion roots grow rapidly in large number. The cells at the tip are actively dividing and therefore all cell cycle stages are easy to visualize in single preparation. The onion tips are easy to prepare for squashing on microscopic slide. The slide preparation can be stained to make them more observable.
Onion root tip mitosis refers to a type of cell division where the parent cell produces two identical daughter cells resulting in two diploid daughter cells.
The discussion and questions address various aspects of mitosis in plant cells. The document provides instructions for a laboratory report on an experiment observing cell division through mitosis in onion root tip cells.
The document summarizes an experiment observing mitosis in onion root tip cells under a microscope. The experiment aimed to observe and identify the different phases of mitosis. Onion root tips were prepared by growing onion roots in water for 3-4 days.
