A student looks through her microscope at the dividing cells at the tip of an
onion root. Some, but not all of the cells have clearly visible chromosomes.
These chromosomes are tightly clustered along the center plane of the cell. At
what phase of mitosis are these cells?
a) prophase
b) metaphase
c) anaphase
d) telophase - CORRECT ANSWERS B) Metaphase
If a cell has just completed telophase, which of the following would she expect
to see?
a) A cell with a well defined nucleus and highly condensed chromosomes.
, b) Chromosomes condensed and clustered in the middle of the cell, but no
nucleas.
c) An elongated cell with two areas of chromatin.
d) A cell with one mass of chromatin located in the center of the cell. -
CORRECT ANSWERS C) An elongated cell with two areas of
chromatin
After chromosomes condense and are pulled to the center of a dividing cell
