GRADED A+
Why is it more accurate to call mitosis "nuclear replication" rather than
"cellular division"? (CORRECT ANSWER) Cellular division does not
occur during the steps of mitosis but during a process called cytokenesis.
During mitosis the replicated chromosomes are evenly distributed into
two daughter nuclei
Why are the whitefish blastula and onion root tip selected? (CORRECT
ANSWER) The whitefish blastula is selected because the cells are
rapidly dividing as the fish embryo is growing. The onion root is
selected because that is the area where the plant is growing so more cells
will be going through mitosis in this area
Why is it incorrect to say that cells in the G0 stage are "resting"?
(CORRECT ANSWER) They are still metabolically active
If our observation had not been restricted to the area of the root tip that
is actively dividing, how would your results have been different?
(CORRECT ANSWER) We would have found more cells in interphase.
Our results would have poor percentages of the other stages of mitosis
