Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Procedure`:` Take a medium sized onion. Keep it in a conical flask filled with water in such a way that the roots of onion will be incontact with water. Observe the roots of onion after 4-5 days. Cut the tips of some of the roots and put them in a watch glass. Pour some drops of iodine in watch glass.Take one of the root tipe on glass slide press it with the help of forceps. Add 1-2 drops of waterand carefully place cover slip over it in such a way that air will not be trapped between. Observe the preparedglass slip under the compound microscope. Which phase of celll division did you observe ? Sketch its figure.
Various phases of cell division occurring in root tips of onion are shown in figure.
