Onion Root Tip Lab Rachel Hildreth Shanna Rentz Parts of the Onion Root • Region of Maturation- where root hairs develop and cells differentiate -------------------------------------> • Region of Elongation- area in which growth occurs -------------------------------------> • Apical Meristem- region containing the highest percentage of cells undergoing mitosis ------------------------------------> • Root Cap- functions in protection --------------------------------------> 4 Phases of Mitosis • • • • Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase/Cytokinesis (sometimes referred to 5th) Interphase (Pre-Mitosis) Cell prepares for division by: • replicating DNA and organelles • increasing cell size Prophase Cell prepares for nuclear division by: • condensing DNA into movable packages called chromosomes Metaphase Cell prepares chromosomes for division by: • aligning chromosomes at cell equator • attaching spindle fibers from each new daughter cell pole to each chromosome at the centromere Anaphase Chromosomes divide: • spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart • one-half of each chromosome (chromatid) moves to a new daughter cell Telophase/Cytokinesis Cytoplasm divides: • DNA decondenses and two nuclei form • new cell wall (cell plate) appears between the two nuclei to form two new daughter cells Onion Root Tip Mitosis
