Question

If mitosis but not cytokinesis occurred in onion root tip cells, what would you expect to see on a slide of these root cells?

Answer 1

Answer: Well, cytokines happens after mitosis so you wouldn't see the daughter cells dividing yet.

Explanation: Onion root-tip cells divide once every 24 hours, or roughly two hours after sunrise, and go through a cell cycle that lasts for about 24 hours. Therefore, in order to harvest the greatest amount of proliferating cells, water-grown roots should only be removed at that time.
