USE OF ONION ROOT TIPS FOR MITOTIC DIVISION OBSERVATIONS Introduction The zone of cell division on the onion root tip is a great place to observe mitotic cell divisions. Through the observation and comparison of different regions of the root tip‚ the duration of mitotic stages and mitotic indexes are determined for the various divisions of the root tip. Methods Each group used a compound microscope to analyze the different sections of the onion root tip. The root tip was visually

MATERIALS • compound light microscope • prepared slides (longitudinal sections of onion or garlic root tips) • prepared slides (whitefish blastula or other animal tissue) Procedure PART 1: MITOSIS IN PLANT CELLS 1. Observe a prepared slide of a longitudinal section of onion or garlic root tips. Use low power to locate the region of actively dividing cells near the end of the root. Using high power‚ examine individual cells in the region. Find a cell from each stage of mitosis

Biology Inheritance – Mitotic Squash of Garlic Root Tip Mitosis is the process of cell division; it is the process by which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets in two nuclei. It is generally followed immediately by cytokinesis‚ which divides the nuclei‚ cytoplasm‚ organelles and cell membrane into two cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic phase of the cell cycle—the

principally in the roots‚ in the shoots and in the cambium. This experiment aims at observing cell multiplication in the root tip of a garlic root. Discussion The purpose of this practical was to observe and identify under the light microscope the stages of mitosis division (interphase‚ prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ telophase) by using tissue from root tips. The root tips were prepared before it was view under the light microscope‚ hydrochloric acid was added to the root tips in order to destroy

The Onion’s mock press release about the MagnaSoles shoe inserts satirizes how products are marketed to customers. The article is riddled through with malapropisms‚ and the whole article is a parody of an advertisement. Sarcastic irony is used when statements are made in the article that are obviously meant to show that the opposite is true‚ and hyperbole‚ or exaggeration‚ is used to show how advertisers will try to convince people that their product is useful for many more issues than it is.

Bomze makes clear the two basic types of onions to look for when choosing a pungent or mild onion at the store. Shopping tips are included on how to check the neck‚ firmness‚ and thickness of skin when searching for a milder or more pungent onion.

Planning Exercise Aim To investigate the effect of phosphate on cell division in root tips. Background knowledge Phosphate ions (macronutrients) are needed large amounts by plants. They are required for root growth. For the root tips cells to divide‚ mitosis has to occur. Phosphate is needed for production of ATP which provides energy for mitosis to occur. DNA replication occurs during interphase of the cell cycle. DNA is made up of nitrogen containing base‚ pentose sugar and phosphate group

ONION EPIDERMIS INTRODUCTION An eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other structures (organelles) enclosed within membranes. Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive features include: A large central vacuole a water-filled volume enclosed by a membrane known as the tonoplast which maintains the cell’s turgor (provide structural support) and controls movement of molecules between the cytosol

Unit 1: fundamentals of science. Title An investigation of an onion cell using a light microscope. Aim: The aim of this investigation is to identify the cells within an onion skin using a light microscope. An onion cell is a plant cell which through the light microscope‚ it should outline the cell wall‚ cell membrane and the nucleus. Introduction: Plant cells have a cell wall and cell membrane which animal cells do not have. The cell wall provides support and is relatively rigid‚ which consists
