Why Does The Root Tip Of The Onion Need To Be Stained?

Decent Essays
1. Why do you think the roots of plants are good for studying Mitosis? In my biased opinion, I believe that the roots are suitable for studying mitosis because plants always undergo mitosis.

2. Why does the root tip of the onion need to be stained? The root tips of the onion need to be stain because they provide more visibility when looking under a microscope.

3. How many phases are in the Cell Cycle? There are five stages of the cell cycle which would be Interface, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase.

4. From your studies, name the three phases of Interphase and what occurs during each of those phases.
The three phases of interphase would be G1 where the cells grow, produce organelles, afterward it would be synthesis in this

    In this lab, we took four separate onion bulbs, labeled them A,B,C, and D, and put them in a beaker filled with water. We recorded the growth in number of roots and their average length for days one, two, and five. Then we put Bulbs B, C, and D in beakers with different amounts of caffeine and left Bulb A in water. We then recorded the number of roots and their average length on days two, three, and four. After that, we took and onion root form Bulbs A, B, C, and D, stained them, and looked for cells going through mitosis.…

    Telophase/cytokinesis occurs when there is no longer a mother/father pair together, After the completion of meiosis I, the cells are no longer diploid cells, but rather haploid cells. Meiosis II also has four phases including prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II/ cytokinesis. Prophase II occurs when spindle fibers reform and attach to the centromeres. Metaphase II consist of the chromosomes lining up to prepare for the division of centromeres in the next phase.…

    The chromatin fibers condensed into chromosomes. As the nuclei disappears, each chromosomes are duplicated as two sister chromatids joined by centromeres. Mitotic spindles are formed in the cytoplasm by centrosomes and microtubules during prophase. During prometaphase, the mitotic spindles move apart and the kinetochores form at the centromeres. Some microtubules are attached to kinetochores and move chromosomes.…

    After stage one, there are both ATP and ADP molecules produced and after stage three there are two ADP molecules produced, a singular hydrogen atom, and a citrate. After the fifth stage, there are two hydrogen atoms produced but they are lost in the sixth due to oxidisation. Between the stages 7-10, two ATP molecules are formed. During glycolysis, the enzymes catalyse numerous reactions and they are controlled by the concentrations of the ATP, ADP, hydrogen+, and citrate. When it comes to changing concentrations, ATP inhibits glycolysis which means that it changes it and reduces the activity of the enzyme but citrate does this also ADP and hydrogen atoms stimulate glycolysis which means that they increase the activity of the enzymes.…

    STAGE FOUR: COMPLETE COLONIZATION Finally! You have achieved the goal of creating a fully colonized fungal biomass, capable of fruiting mushrooms. Your spawn run is complete, and now you only have to wait a few days to a few weeks before mushrooms will appear. Complete colonization is similar to the “resting” phase (stage seven) in that there is a meta- bolic shift and preparation. During this time the fungus concentrates on feeding rather than spreading; it is recharging its battery, so to speak, to give it enough en- ergy to fruit as many mushrooms as possible.…

    Difference Between Mitosis and Meiosis: Every multicellular organism has originated his life with only a one fertilized egg , which then maximized by the well known process of division of cell. In cell division process the cell is obtained by the already existed cell or pre existed cell stated by Ruolf Virchow in 1855. The process divison of cells is uasuall same in all of the living organisms. Division of cells is furtherly divided into two types :- 1) Mitosis 2) Meiosis Basic Difference Mitosis and Meiosis:- Mitosis and Meiosis both are originally types of division of cells .…

    The animal cell is rounded and irregular in terms of shape whilst the plant cell is usually a fixed rectangular shape. This is because the plant cell has a cell wall around the plasma membrane giving the cell support and rigidity which aids the structure of the cell which the animal cell doesn’t have, this was visible throughout the practical. Both cells have a nucleus that was also visible during the practical. The majority of the plant cells had their nucleus pushed to one side this is because there is a large water filled vacuole in the middle of the plant cell that is critical for the purification and general homeostasis within the cell. The animal cell had a more central nucleus in most cases because it does not have one of these large vacuoles, instead it has one or more small vacuoles scattered throughout the cell.…
