The onion root is also a good place because this is the area where the plant is growing Remember that when cells divide each new cell needs an exact copy of the DNA in the parent cell This is why mitosis is only visible in cells that are dividing like the whitefish embryo and the onion root tip Mitosis can take several hours to completeObserving Mitosis in Plant Cells continued 2 21 linn ientii n ll igts eserve derived from the Golgi apparatus to the middle of the cell The vesicles fuse to form the cell plate which expands until it forms a complete cell wall A prepared longitudinal cross section of an onion root tip provides a snapshot of the cell

Mitosis in Onion Root Tips Onion root tips are extremely popular for viewing the different phases of mitosis because the chromosomes are large and and very dark when stained The images shown below were taken using a regular light microscope with an oil immersion lens at XProcedure You will be given a slide of Allium which is an onion root tip Growth occurs when cells divide so the root tips should have several cells in the process of cell division View the root tip under the microscope and search for organized blocks of cells where nuclei are plainly visible

Lab 9 Mitosis I Objectives In today’s lab you will first observe prepared slides of plant and animal cells in different stages of cell division In the second part of the lab you will prepare your own slides of onion root tips and examine the tissue for both interphase and mitotic cellsWhy Are Most Cells Undergoing Mitosis in the Root Tip The majority of cells at the tip of a plant s root are under going mitosis because mitosis allows the root to grow longer Cell division at the root tip continuously adds new cells to the end of the root causing elongation

In plant cells the daughter cells will construct a new dividing cell wall between each other Plant Cell Cycle Phases Onion Root Tip Notice that some of the phases occur in stages so there are what are considered early stages and late stagAn onion root tip is a rapidly growing part of the onion and thus many cells will be in different stages of mitosis The onion root tips can be prepared and squashed in a way that allows them to be flattened on a microscopic slide so that the chromosomes of individual cells can be observed easily

Onion root tips are easy to grow in large numbers and the cells at its tips are actively dividing thus many of its cells will be in different stages of mitosis The reason for using the last 1 3mm of the root tip is because it is where the region of cell division meristem is locatedAllium root tip Examine the square cells just inside the root capThis is the root meristem embryonic tissue where mitosis is occurring Farther up the root is the elongation zone where cells are long rectangles these cells are not undergoing mitosis INTERPHASE The nucleus of the cell is clearly stained and appears to have tiny dots and one or more dark nucleoli inside

Cells which are actively dividing mitotically can be found at the root tip region of a plant This experiment is conducted to observe the mitosis process occur at the root tip of the plant comparing the sizes of cell undergoing division with the one that is not In this lab you will be observing plant cells onion in the various stages of mitosis and make time calculations based on the data you collect MATERIALS Microscope Prepared slides of a longitudinal section of Allium onion root tip You can obtain these from any science supply company

Root Tip Mitosis Page rtm1 Mitosis in Onion Root Tip Cells A quick overview of cell division The genetic information of plants animals and other eukaryotic organisms resides in several or many individual DNA molecules or chromosom For example each human cell possesses 46 chromosomes while each cell of an onion possesses 8 chromosomThe onion root tips are where the growth and cell division of plants take place at a very fast rate so the chance of being able to observe cells in all the five stages of cell division will be high Mitosis is the process of cell division where the chromosomes divide and create exact duplicates of itself
