B. xylem from a tree trunk


C. tip of a shoot


D. phloem from the stem of a plant

Answer 1

the answer would be C. tip of a shoot

Answer 2

(C). tip of a shoot

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis can be defined as a type of cell division, which involves formation of two identical daughter cells from a parent cell having same genetic makeup.

If a student wants to study mitosis, he should use tip of shoot as it contains meristematic cells and is a rapidly growing part of the plant. It contains many cells that are present in different mitosis stages.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
