The onion plant began as a single cell. That cell had X number of chromosomes. (The exact number does not matter, we will just call that number “X”.) How many chromosomes are in each of the cells that you observed? (Give the answer in terms of X.) How do you know?

Respuesta :

Onion plant reproduces sexually and sexually reproducing organisms begin their life from single cell called zygote. The zygote under goes several mitosis division for the further growth of an organism. Since mitosis is an equation division, the chromosome numbers in the daughter cells as the same as the mother cell. If the chromosome number in the single cell is X, then chromosome number in the daughter cells will be X.

The number of chromosomes observed in each of the cells is the same as the parental cell.

What is mitosis?

Mitosis is a cell division in which the parent cell divides to produce two daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes.

  • Somatic onion cell divides by mitosis, whereas germinal cells divide by meiosis.

  • Mitosis is a cell division process where daughter cells conserve the original chromosome number (i.e., they are genetically identical to the parental cell).

In conclusion, the number of chromosomes observed in each of the cells is the same as the parental cell.
