    The document contains questions about mitosis and cell division. It asks about: 1) Two functions of the centromere during mitosis are to attach spindle fibers and align chromosomes at the metaphase plate. 2) Stages of cell division seen in onion root tip cells and why roots tips are suitable. 3) Amount of DNA and chromosomes at different stages of cell division.

    1. Describe two functions of centromere during mitosis.

    2. a) Look at the photograph in the given fugure which shows onion


    root tip cells dividing. Identify which stage (interphase, prophase,
    metaphase, anaphase or telophase)best describes the
    appearance of each of the cells A-E.

    b) Explain why root tips are particularly suitable material to use
    for preparing slides to show mitosis.

    c) A cell in the G1 stage of interphase had 10 arbitrary units of


    DNA contained in six pairs of homologus chromosomes. If it
    divided by mitosis, how many units of DNA and how many
    chromosomes would there be,

    i) In the nucleus at the end of G2?

    ii) During metaphase?

    iii) In each nucleus at the end of telophase?

    3. a) Micro propagation is the process where plant cell from any


    tissue specially the fast growing is taken and placed in nutrient
    medium. The cell will start dividing and give rise to the new cells
    which eventually produces the whole plant body.
    Suggest four advantages of producing plants by the micro
    propagation.

    b) Describe two differences between cell division in animal cells
    and plant cells.

    4. Below figure demonstrates the chromosomal behaviour during


    mitosis.

    Describe in your own words, the mechanism of chromosomes


    formation during the mitotic cell cycle.

    5. Below figure demonstrates the process of Cytokinesis in the
    animal cell.

    Explain the process of Cytokinesis in the plant cells, and how


    does it differs from the above mentioned process.

    6. State the points of significance of mitosis in the cells.
