Does meiosis take place in root tip cells?
No. Meosis is a reductional division that brings about the generation of gametes. Mitosis takes place in the root tip cells. The root tip of a healthy plant is growing rapidly and there is a requirement for many newly formed cells.
Which section of the root has root hairs?
the root hairs are located in the region above the root tip.
What do you call a group of cells that produce slime?
root tip
The protective layer of cells that covers the actively growing tip of a root?
root cap
What cells are found on roots?
Root hairs are long tubular out growths made of root epidermis cells that form to increase the root surface. Root hair development consists of root hair initiation and tip growth.
In the onion root tip do the daughter cells occupy the same column of cells as the parent cell?
yes and it goes the same for all cells in the root tip

What is the function of root tip in plant?
The root tip is on the bottom of the Zone of elongation and the zone of elongation is where the cells are and the cells push the zone of elongation and the root tip gets the water and sends the water through the xylem into the plant. So the root tip get the water.
Cells produced by the root and shoot tip meristems become the?
meristematic cells
Which section of the root has root hairs?
the root hairs are located in the region above the root tip.
What is the fucntion of the root cap?
protecting the delicate stem cells within the root tip,
What do you call a group of cells that produce slime?
root tip
Why are root tip and embryo cells good for studying mitosis?
Root tip cells and embryo cells are good for studying mitosis because these cells are always growing and going through mitosis. They show all the stages very clearly.
Why is the root cap at the end of the root?
because it cup shaped mass of the cells that covers and protects a root tip
Why are root hairs found only in mature parts of the root tip?
Perhaps to maximise intake of rain water falling on the surface of the soil? structurally, since roots grow downwards, the root hairs that are older and longer will be located at the top, near more mature cells of the root tip, while the newer, shorter root hairs are located at the younger part of the root: closer to the root cap

root cap
