Stages of Mitosis: • Use the matching cards to form a table in the format shown on the next slide: • Finish the table in your notes by completing the description of each phase and then drawing a simple diagram of each phase.

If cells are overlapping, squash the slide again. Avoid moving the coverslip from side to side. n Make sketches of (or take photographs of) cells that show any of the stages of mitosis. o Calculate the mitotic index. p Compare the mitotic index of root tips from alliums that have been sprouting for 1, 2, 5 and 10 days. q If available, compare the allium meristem tissue with that from other species. Teaching notes Cell division in flowering plants takes place in particular regions of the plant called meristems. Cells in meristems are not specialized for any particular function and divide repeatedly by mitosis. Some of the daughter cells remain meristematic; others cease dividing and become differentiated into appropriate cell types depending on their position. The root tip meristem is usually a denser white and more rounded than the cut end. Chromosomes in root tip tissue are made visible with the stain. Dividing cells (if present) will show up clearly with chromosomes in different forms according to the stage of mitosis. Individual chromosomes (as tightly-coiled threads) are visible during anaphase. The links between the cellulose walls of plant cells are broken down by the treatment with hydrochloric acid. This ensures that the stain can penetrate the cells and allows the tissue to be squashed out one cell thick. The mitotic index is calculated like this: The duration of each stage of mitosis has been recorded and the data (see table below) could be used to compare the observed frequencies of the different stages as recorded by students.
