Onion Tip

Introduction: Find out the difference between Cytokinesis and Mitosis.  How do they go together in order to complete the cell division process?


Part 1: Can you find dividing cells in the onion root tip?

Yes, you can find the cells by finding were the most of the concentrated cells are, this is the most simple and effecting way to find find these cells. Dividing cells are in the most concentrated areas because most of them have been divided. Making a bigger area and creating a more concentrated area.

What differences can you see when you compare the nucleus of a dividing cell with that of a 

non-dividing cell?

The difference between the nucleus of a dividing cell and a non-dviding cell are: the dividing cell is going through the mitosis, the dividing cells go through be different steps of mitosis. But the nucleus of a dividing cell moves through the inside of your body and takes 24 hours for it divide.

Part 2:
Wild we were doing the activity we learned what each procces of mitosis is and also what its like like and what is each part of mitosis. We also learned how many cells one cells contained. We also learned how much each of the stages and phases lasts. We learned a lot of facts about each phase of mitosis.

Part 3 

Through the second activity we got to see how the onion tip actually looks like and we got to see what divding cells look like when there being divided.
