An onion root tip is a rapidly growing part of the onion and thus many cells will be in different stages of mitosis can be seen
The process through which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells is called cell division. It is a small part of the cell cycle. In normal eukaryotic cells, the type of cell division is known as mitosis.
Mitosis is the process which helps in regeneration and repair. It helps both in cell growth and development. As the cells get old and wear off or get bruised and injured it gets repaired and regenerate.
Cell division occurs frequently in growing root tips of sprouting seeds or bulbs.
In laboratory generally the root tips used for the study of mitosis are onion, wheat, lentil, barley and alfalfa. An onion root tip is a fast growing part of the onion and thus many cells will be in different stages of mitosis.
