Answer:
An onion root tip is a rapidly growing part of the onion and thus many cells will be in different stages of mitosis . The onion root tips can be prepared and squashed in a way that allows them to be flattened on a microscopic slide, so that the chromosomes of individual cells can be observed easily.

Answer:
Gently lay a microscopic cover slip on the membrane and press it down gently using a needle to remove air bubbles. Touch a blotting paper on one side of the slide to drain excess iodine/water solution, Place the slide on the microscope stage under low power to observe. Adjust focus for clarity to observe.
