Onion Root Lab

Onion Root Tip lab

Purpose: What proportion of cells is within each phase in mitosis? Make a graph 

Guiding Question: Approximately how much time do cells spend in each phase of the cell cycle?

Hypothesis: We think it will take about the same time for each phase to spend in the cell cycle. 

Materials: Computer, Notebook + Pencils and erasers

Procedure: Perform the onion root tip simulation and tabulate the number of cells in each phase. Construct an appropriate graph using your data to present the relative time a cell spends in each phase of the cell cycle.
