Abstract: The question of the investigation is if lectin can induce mitosis in the cell of an onion root tip. The hypothesis is that‚ if the lectin does not induce mitosis‚ then there should not be a great change in the number of cells that undergo mitosis. The alternate is‚ if the lectin does induce mitosis‚ then there should be an increase in of cells in mitosis. The control group of the experiment had root tip treated with water‚ and the experimental had root tip treated with lectin. Upon the

Cycle‚ Mitosis and Meiosis. Cells have the ability to grow‚ have particular functions‚ and replicate during their life. Although cell enlargement is part of organismal growth‚ cell replication is also required and allows growth without each cell becoming too large. All of these activities are part of a repeating set of events known as the cell cycle. The major feature in the cell cycle is cellular replication and what enables for cellular replication is the process of mitosis. Mitosis is the
Premium Mitosis Chromosome Cell cycle
Mitosis /Meiosis Mitosis occurs all the time in all body cells. This occurs to produce new cells and replace old and dead cells. We produce new blood cells‚ bone cells‚ skin cells...the list can go on and on. Mitosis in a nutshell is the process of splitting the nucleus and it occurs hand in hand with the rest of the cell cycle and cytokenesis. Meiosis‚ on the other hand‚ is a process of taking a diploid cell (a cell with

Mitosis is a way to help your body replace worn out cells. Mitosis has five phases‚ six if you include Cytokinesis. The phases of Mitosis are Interphase‚ Prophase‚ Metaphase‚ Anaphase‚ and Telophase. These phases all work together in order to help recover worn out muscles ‚ skin and other types of cells. Mitosis is when one cell divides into two daughter cells. Mitosis is very useful for organisms. Without Mitosis organisms would not be able to repair cuts and could result in death. It is also

and a base. A and T pair together to form a DNA molecule and G and C together form a DNA molecule. The shape that Rosalind images were was a spiral shape. DNA unites all organisms’ means that DNA is the main source in the cell and has the most important job‚ therefore uniting the cells. The DNA of all living organisms have the same structure and code. 80 percent would be the percentage of Guanine because Cytosine is 20 percent and 80 plus 20 equals 100.

Between meiosis and mitosis there are many unique similarities and differences such that mitosis has four stages and meiosis has eight. Or a similarity where they both have no new gene combination when each of the cells splits after each of their processes. Many more of these similarities and differences will be explained throughout the text. Many similarities occur between meiosis and mitosis such that each process‚ after it has been gone through‚ result in no new gene combination. Each new cell

Diversity in Living Organisms (Science) |Close X | |[pic] Classification And Evolution Classification refers to the identification‚ naming‚ and grouping of organisms into a formal system based on similarities in their internal and external structure or evolutionary history. It determines the methods of organizing diversity of life on earth. Therefore‚ classification helps in understanding millions of life forms in detail. Who started the classification of organisms?
