the size of cheek cell and onion cell DCP: Introduction: In this experiment‚ Onion cells (Allium cepa) Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) were measured and compared. The aim of this experiment is to find out how both cells differ by comparing their size. Onion cells (Allium cepa) is plant cell and Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) is an animal cell. Hypothesis: The size of an animal cell (Homo sapiens) should be smaller than a plant cell (Allium cepa). Because a plant cell has cell wall which is to maintain

Examination of Onion Epidermal Cells Requirements: Iodine solution HARMFUL Onion Distilled Water Apparatus: Microscope Microscope slides & cover slips Tile Knife Tweezers Pasteur Pipettes Assignment: I was given the onion once it had been chopped up on the tile‚ ready for me to peel back the skin I required using the tweezers. I then placed piece of onionskin onto the microscope slide‚ making sure there were no folds or creases‚ and put a drop of iodine onto the slide

Mitosis Lab Mitosis in Onion Root Tips Make a sketch of a representative cell in each of the four stages of mitosis in the space provided below. Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Can you distinguish any cells? Yes‚ you can identify cells that are undergoing development. In prophase‚ the chromosomes make and x shape. In metaphase‚ the chromosomes are moved to the middle of the cell. In anaphase‚ the chromosomes look like they are being pulled apart. And in telophase‚ the cell starts

It is important that cells go through mitosis because it makes each new cell contain the same gentic information. If meiosis did not occur the reproduction would cease to exist. Mitosis is the process of chromosomes dividing. There are four steps that it goes through. Between cell division the cells are in interphase. During this there is cell growth and the genetic material such as DNA is contained in the chromosomes‚ duplicated so that when the cell divides each new cell has a full version of

to an onion cell? Materials: (per student group): red onion epidermis forceps‚ dropper distilled water NaCl solution paper towels microscope slide cover slip Procedure 1. Make a wet mount of the red onion epidermis. 2. Examine under low power. When you have a clear view of several cells‚ switch to high power. Make a labeled drawing (cell wall‚ membrane‚ cytosol) of your cells. This will give you a record of the original appearance of the onion cells.

Cell division in animals: mitosis‚ cytokinesis‚ and the cell cycle. Cell division in animals is a two-step process involving mitosis and cytokinesis and is set up by interphase. Interphase is a growth period for the cell. In the nucleus the chromosomes are duplicated but are not yet distinguishable because they are still a form of chromatin. There is also a nucleoli‚ one or more‚ present producing ribosomes that are sent to the cytoplasm. Mitosis is the division of the nucleus and multiplication
Premium Mitosis Cell cycle
Mitosis in a Nutshell • The stages of the cell cycle can be broken down into six stages: o Interphase‚ Prophase‚ Metaphase‚ Anaphase‚ Telophase Interphase • Is the "resting" or non-mitotic portion of the cell cycle. • It is comprised of G1‚ S‚ and G2 stages of the cell cycle. • DNA is replicated during the S phase of Interphase Prophase - the first stage of mitosis. • The chromosomes condense and become visible • The centrioles form and move toward opposite ends of the cell ("the poles")

MITOSIS The Stages of Mitosis Mitosis is simply described as having four stages—prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ and telophase; the steps follow one another without interruption. The entire four-stage division process averages about one hour in duration‚ and the period between cell divisions‚ called interphase or interkinesis‚ varies greatly but is considerably longer. During INTERPHASE the chromosomes are dispersed in the nucleus and appear as a network of long‚ thin threads or filaments‚ called the
