Question

1). Karen is looking at a slide of an onion root tip under a microscope. She noticed that not all the cells look the same. Which of these best describes why all the cells are not identical?

A). The root is continuing to grow so the cells are going through mitosis

B). Some of the cells are cells and others are cells in the stem

C). There is a problem with the slide and it must be contaminated

D). The cells are turning into the actual

2). What is the difference between cells B and E?

A). B contains fever chromosomes than E

B). B is in anaphase and E is in metaphase

C). B is an animal cell and E is a plant cell

D). B it's two separate cells and E is a single cell

Answer 1

The cells in the onion root tip are not all identical because the root is continuing to grow and the cells undergo mitosis. Cell B contains fewer chromosomes than cell E.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why not all the cells in the onion root tip look the same is because the root is continuing to grow and the cells are going through mitosis (Option A). In mitosis, the cells divide and produce new cells, resulting in a variety of different cells with different structures and functions.

Regarding the difference between cells B and E, cell B contains fewer chromosomes than cell E (Option A). During anaphase of mitosis, the paired chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell, while in metaphase, the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell.

Answer 2

Answer: 1.C

The first question is pretty self explanatory because the cells won’t look the same because more cells are still developing and going through mitosis.

2.B

The second one is B because in metaphase the spindles align in the middle and E shows that. Image B is anaphase because the spindles moves to opposite ends.
