Prophase During this stage of mitosis, the nucleolus is still visible. However, the nucleus appears grainy due to chromosomal condensation. The following is a diagrammatic representation of an onion root tip cell during prophase:Diagrammatic representation of an onion root tip cell during prophase. ...
A series of electron micrographs has been made of thinly sectioned onion root tip fixed with several types of fixative and embedded in methacrylate. With acid fixation the cellular protoplasm appears shredded at these high magnifications, but after neutral fixation the cellular contents form ...
Onion root tips are commonly used to study mitosis. They are sites of rapid growth, so the cells are dividing rapidly. When an onion root tip is...Become a member and unlock all Study Answers Start today. Try it now Create an account Ask a question Our experts can answer your tough...
View the root tip under the microscope and search for organized blocks of cells where nuclei are plainly visible. (Most activity will be occurring at the tip of the root). Move the slide around until you find a good spot that shows the cells in various stages of mitosis. Analysis 1. Why...
