Why HCl is used in onion root tip experiment? (The HCI helps break apart the tissue so the cells can be seen better.) After 10 minutes, use a paper towel to carefully soak up all of the HCl.What stain is used in the onion root tip experiment? According to the question, the stain used in onion root cells is acetocarmine as it stains the nucleus and helps in viewing different stages of mitosis. 11 Nov 2020What is the principle of the onion root tip experiment? Why is onion root tip used to demonstrate mitosis in this experiment? It is because of th meristematic cells that are situated in the ti of the roots that render the most desirable and suitable raw material to study the different stages of mitosis. 15 Oct 2020Why is acid added to root tip? a The root tip is heated with acid to break up the tissues into individual cells. The cellulose walls of plant cells are held together by pectins such as calcium pectate. Treatment with hydrochloric acid breaks this down.What are the stages of the onion root tip? Mitotic stages (interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis) in onion root tip cells. DNA replication occurs at interphase during the so-called S phase (S = synthesis). This stage is followed by the G2 phase (G=gap) during which structures required for division begin to assemble.How many chromosomes are in an onion root tip? You have studied mitosis in onion root tip cells. It has 16 chromosomes in each cell.Why is salt used in DNA extraction? a Salt is used in DNA extraction as salt helps in neutralizing DNA molecules. It makes the DNA molecules less hydrophilic i.e less soluble in water. Salt also helps in detaching protein molecules from strands of DNA. and makes the extraction process easier.What is the principle of DNA isolation experiment? The basic principle of DNA isolation is disruption of the cell wall, cell membrane, and nuclear membrane to release the highly intact DNA into solution followed by precipitation of DNA and removal of the contaminating biomolecules such as the proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, phenols, and other secondary metabolites ...Why is alcohol used in DNA extraction? a Using ice-cold water and ice-cold alcohol will increase your yield of DNA. The cold water protects the DNA by slowing down enzymes that can break it apart. The cold alcohol helps the DNA precipitate (solidify and appear) more quickly.What is the pH required for DNA extraction? 7.0-8.0Is DNA soluble in water? a DNA is soluble in water, but not in alcohol; thus, the DNA present at the water-alcohol interface precipitates out of solution, allowing it to be seen.What is the purpose of the detergent in DNA extraction? The detergent dissolves the fatty molecules that hold the cell membranes together, which releases the DNA into the solution. TheWhat is the genotype for the widow's peak? genotype WW Autosomal single-gene Traits in Humans Because this is a dominant trait, people with the genotype WW and the genotype Ww will have a widow's peak, and only people with the genotype ww will not have the trait. 13 May 2020Attached earlobe is a recessive trait.What is a homologous organ? a Homologous organs : The organs which have the anatomically same structure but are different in functions are called homologous organs. Examples of homologous organs are as follows: Mouth parts of cockroach, honey bee, butterfly. Forelimb of man, whale, bat, cheetah.Analogous organs : The organs which have similar functions but are different in anatomical structures are called analogous organs. Examples of analogous organs are as follows: Wings of an insect and bird. Pectoral fins of shark and flippers of dolphin.
