Different individual cells will have received slightly different amounts of vital nutrients at different times, therefore, mitosis will not occur at the same rate throughout the onion. Over time, cells will become more out-of-sync and end up mitozing at different times causing each cell to be at different stages of the mitotic cycle.
P.S. Is mitotic even a word - I've never heard it before. Sounds like a smug Biology teacher made it up.
What else can I help you with?
Which tool is best for a student to use to observe mitosis in an onion root?
A microscope is the best tool for a student to use to observe mitosis in an onion root tip.
What slide organism in mitosis in plant cell?
The slide organism commonly used to study mitosis in plant cells is the onion root tip. Onion root tips have actively dividing cells that are easily observable under a microscope, making them ideal for studying the different stages of mitosis such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Is onion root tip mitosis uncellular or multicellular?
Onion root tip mitosis is multicellular, as it involves multiple cells within the root tip undergoing the process of cell division to produce new cells. Each cell goes through the stages of mitosis to generate daughter cells with identical genetic material.
What can you infer about the relative length of time an onion root tip call spends in each cell division?
Based on the onion root tip cells' stages in the cell cycle and relative lengths of the phases, you can infer that the cells spend the most time in the interphase stage, especially in the G1 phase. This is where the cells grow and perform normal functions before entering mitosis for a brief period of time.
Why root tip of an onion is an ideal specimen for examining mitotic division?
The root tip of an onion is an ideal specimen for examining mitotic division because it contains actively dividing cells at the root apex. These cells are in different stages of mitosis, making it easy to observe and study the process of cell division under a microscope. Additionally, onion cells have large, clear chromosomes that are easily visible, aiding in the observation of mitotic phases.
Which tool is best for a student to use to observe mitosis in an onion root?
A microscope is the best tool for a student to use to observe mitosis in an onion root tip.
What are the most phases that you can observe in root tip?
mitosis
Bella did the onion root mitosis lab before on what?
with edward
Why are onion root tips used to look at mitosis instead of other parts of the onion?
because of you!
What vegetable were edward and Bella looking at when they met?
When they met in Biology class (for the second time) they were looking at 'onion root tip cells' and labelling them into the phases of 'mitosis'. Found on page 38.
What type of cell division is exhibited by the cell in the onion root tip?
Mitosis.
When Bella and Edward are working on the lab about the phases of mitosis they complete it before anyone else Mr Banner comes to check on them and asks Bella if she has done this lab before What di?
if you mean what did she say, then she said , "Not with onion root."
What is a blatsula?
It is a type of white fish that demonstrates mitosis much like an onion root tip.
What slide organism in mitosis in plant cell?
The slide organism commonly used to study mitosis in plant cells is the onion root tip. Onion root tips have actively dividing cells that are easily observable under a microscope, making them ideal for studying the different stages of mitosis such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Is onion root tip mitosis uncellular or multicellular?
Onion root tip mitosis is multicellular, as it involves multiple cells within the root tip undergoing the process of cell division to produce new cells. Each cell goes through the stages of mitosis to generate daughter cells with identical genetic material.
Why you need to heat onion root tips during mitosis?
Heating onion root tips during mitosis allows for the cells to be fixed and stained, making it easier to observe and study the different stages of cell division under a microscope. The heat helps to stop any ongoing cellular processes that may impact the accuracy of the observations.
How does mitosis differ between the onion root and the roundworm?
The only difference between vegetal (onion) cells and animal (roundworm) is not quite in mitosis, but in citokinese (not a mitosis phase since mitosis refers to nucleus division). Vegetal cells have a thick wall rounding the cell which needs different means to split than the membrane in animal cells
