I do not draw. However, I can provide a written explanation of the stages of mitosis that may be affected by weed killer treatment in root tip cells.

The stages of mitosis that may be affected by weed killer treatment in root tip cells are the ones in which the weed killer disrupts the normal process of cell division. These stages include prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The weed killer may prevent the formation of spindle fibers, which are necessary for the proper alignment and separation of chromosomes during cell division. As a result, the cells may not complete the process of mitosis, leading to abnormal cell growth and division. This can ultimately affect the growth and health of the plant.
