Mitosis Questions


Part 1: Can you find dividing cells in the onion root tip?

Yes you can find dividing cell in a onion root tip. The best place for finding dividing cells in an onion root tip, is at the tip of the onion. This is because the tip of the onion root always grows and reproudces itself and repairs itself. Cells at the tip always reproduce
What differences can you see when you compare the nucleus of a dividing cell with that of a
non-dividing cell?

The dividing cell can be defined because you can see there is movement of parts of the cell.
The cell is undergoing the procces of mitosis were it separates. When you observe non-dividing cells nothing happens, while in a dividing cell the cell moves and parts get's ready for dividing reproducing and reparing.

Part 4: See what differences you can detect between the division of an animal cell and a plant cell.

The difference between the division of and animal and a plant cell are a bit different. Except the chromosomes in a animal cell undergo different phases of mitosis then plant cells. Animal cells seem to have a shorter mitosis procces than plants do. In the video I watched as soon as they finished the metaphase the animal cells split.
