Acetocarmine is a DNA specific stain like feulgen stain, so the super coiled chromosomes during different stages of mitosis present in the Onion root tip cells can be visualized perfectly by treating with this stain.
take the root tip (about 1 cm )and put it in dil. HCL solution for ten min. take the tip out and put in acetocarmine stain for 1min. take out the root put it in water bto remove extra stain .
A microscope is the best tool for a student to use to observe mitosis in an onion root tip.
we use acetocarmine to stain chtomosomes. stained chromosomes distinguish from the other organels and materials, it gives the chromosomes a red color. it enables that, during the cell cyle we can observe the nucleus, duplication of DNA, and movement.

CUT UP THE VINES AND DIG OUT THE ROOT. dO NOT USE THE COMPOSTED MATERIAL IN CORN, PUMPKIN OR SQUASH GARDENS AS CHEMICALS IN THE GOURDS ARE A POWERFUL ATTRACTANT FOR THE CORN ROOT BORER AND/OR CUCUMBER BETTel.

There is a certain chemical you can use, but a dark colored food coloring works.
Because it makes the onion root tip very thin - to get best results they tend to try and make it one cell layer thick. This way when you look at under a microscope with dye on it, we can see it clearer and more accurately. You can then distinguish between anaphase, interphase and so on. (:
Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form. Think of it this way: Tree leaves contain chloroplasts because they contain chlorophyll in order for the leaves to turn colors. But who has ever heard of an onion changing colors because it's fall?! Onions dont needchloroplasts, so they dont have them.
Unlike many other vegetables, onions can be used to regrow new onions by planting either a whole onion bulb or part of the onion that contains the root mass on the bottom. Once planted and hydrated, the roots on the bottom of the onion will begin to grow, and green onions will form out of the top of the vegetable. Onions can be used to grow new onions either using water - which is called hydroponic growing - or traditionally, using soil.
we can get a vegetable from it use for cooking
