You view a mature, living plant cell such as an epidermal cell under the light microscope. You view the cell at sufficiently-high magnification and you have also stained the cell for chromatin. The cell has a nucleus, yet you cannot see chromosomes, at least in their typical ’sausage-formed’ shape as we all know them from textbooks. Why is that?

You discover a substance that prevents the motor protein in a centromere from attaching to a spindle fiber. What would be a consequence of adding this substance to a cell during mitosis? Group of answer choices A) the chromatin would not coil up to form condensed chromosomes B) the nuclear membrane would not break down C) sister chromatids would not form D) sister chromatids would fail to separate
Based on your microscopic observation, how many individual cell thus the string is comprised of? What is approximate combine cell length of the cells? Remember: Always measure the cell length base on the widest/longest midsection of the cell!
Which of the following statements correctly identifies the difference between plant and animal cell division? Select one: a. The cell walls of plants prevent the process of cytokinesis. b. Plants cells lack centrioles, and they form a cell plate during cytokinesis. c. Both plant and animal cells undergo mitosis and cytokinesis, but they lack the interphase. d. Plant cells lack centromeres, and they form a cell wall to produce two daughter cells.
The enzyme katanin, named after the Japanese samurai swords, cleaves microtubules into short pieces. What is the fate of the microtubule fragments created by katanin (would they grow or shrink)? Why?
Count 100 cells and tally them. Remember the phases you learned in Bio 31 and Anatomy? Draw a pie chart graph showing the phases of Allium root tip. Label each of the phases with the % for each phase: prophase metaphase anaphase telophase interphase provide direction of the phase progression--direction in which to read the graph so the phases of mitosis are in proper order.
If we looked into the nucleus of a normal somatic cell and if we condensed the chromatin, in which phase of the cell cycle would the cell be in for the chromosomes to have this specific structure? a. G0 b. G1 c. S d. G2 e. none of the above
How long does it take for a cell to take one complete cycle? The answer varies on the type of cell and the species. For instance, a liver cell completes its cell cycle for over 22 hours (Becker and Lane 1965) while other somatic cell lasts to about 18 hours. Can you cite other types of cells that undergo cell cycle and the time it takes to complete the cycle? List five below.
In the micrograph below, you are seeing a collection of cells that have been stained with fluorescent dyes. One of the dyes appears green, and the other dye appears blue (when viewed with a fluorescence microscope). Based on the appearance of these stained cells, which of the following cell structures must the GREEN dye be staining? Endoplasmic reticulum Cytoskeleton Flagella Mitochondria Nucleus ..
