Mitosis in Onion Root tip Experiment
In this video, we’ll be preparing root tips of Allium species to observe cells in various stages of mitotic division
Mitosis is one of the stages in the cell cycle where the chromosomes of a cell replicate and separate to eventually form two genetically identical cells. Unlike in meiosis, chromosome number is maintained in both daughter cells.
Active mitosis in Allium species occurs twice in a 24hour period with a primary maximum phase at around 11pm and a secondary maximum phase at around 1pm.
So based on this information, it goes without saying that these two time periods would be the most preferable for collecting root tip for mitosis lab work.
For the experiment, you’ll need:
• Onion or Garlic bulb
• Beakers
• Toothpicks
• Carnoy’s fluid
• 70% ethanol
• 1N Hydrochloric acid
• Aceto-carmine or Aceto-orcein stain
• Glass slides and coverslips
• Blade or scalpel
• Watchglasses or petridishes
• Tiny vials or containers
• Spirit lamp or Bunsen burner or any flame source
• Blotting paper
• Droppers
• Thumb forceps and a pair of scissor
• Compound light microscope and
• Immersion oil
To begin the experiment, take a onion or garlic bulb and fix in on a beaker containing tap water using toothpicks like you see here. Make sure the base of the bulb touches the water level. Keep this in a safe corner for a couple of days.
Once the roots have grown about 2-3cms, cut out 1cm of root tips and transfer them into a tiny vial containing carnoys fixative fluid. Carnoy’s fluid fixes the DNA of the root tip cells. Leave the roots in the fixative for about 48hrs.
If your planning on storing the root tips for a longer time for use in future, you may transfer the fixed root tips in a second vial containing 70% ethanol. Ethanol dehydrates the root tissue and thereby preserves DNA. Root tips preserved in ethanol and preferably refrigerated will keep well for a couple of years for genetic studies.
Either ways, take a few root tips from carnoy fluid or ethanol and transfer them onto a watchglass containing 1N Hydrochloric acid. Acid will soften the cell walls and weaken cellular connections so it becomes easy to squash the root material later.
Gently warm the watchglass on a flame for about 5 secs. Expose the roottips in the acid for about 2mins.
Give the root tips a couple of washings in distilled water.
Now transfer the roots onto a watchglass containing acetocarmine or acetoorcein stain. These are excellent chromosomal stains and will impart a deep red colouration to the nuclear material of the root cells.
Warm the stain on the flame for about 5secs and leave the roottips in the stain for about 5-10mins.
Now transfer the roottips onto a clean glass slide containing a drop of water.
Using a sharp blade or scalpel, remove about a millimetre of the root tips and discard the rest. The very tip s of the roots are the regions with active cell division and they are all that we require for mitotic experiments.
Gently lower a coverslip on the root tips making sure to avoid any air bubbles.
Using the blunt end of a forcep or a pencil, gently tap the coverslip a few times until the root tips are uniformly squashed in between the slide and the coverslip.
A properly squashed slide will appear faint cloudy pink to almost colourless.
The roottip slide is now ready for microscopic observation.
This is how a finely squashed roottip appears under 10x of the microscope. As you can see, the cells of the roottips are nicely spread out with almost not overlappings. If root tips are not squashed enough, you may repeat the squashing process until you get well spread root cells.
Scan the slide for cells showing mitotic division stages under low power and then proceed to observation under high power, such as 40x or 100x oil immersion lens.
For observations under 100x objective, you”ll neeed to add a drop of immersion oil on top of the coverslip and gently lower the objective lens until it touches the oil surface. From there, use the fine adjustment knob for focusing.
You may take microphotographs of the various cell division stages by employing a simple technique using a mobile phone and a tripod, like so.

Mam if acetocarmine stain not available then we can use saffarine
Yeah you can use saffarine as well

Stay connected dear👍
Maam. Can I add HCl and the stain at the same time and heat
For better result HCl should be used first thn do staining.
Thank you ma'am tomorrow is my half yearly experiment and this video help me a lot 😊
Glad to help you.
Stay connected for final exams also.
God bless you☺☺
@@biologywithanujasharma4607 Thanks maam because of you my practical exam has gone well 😇😇
ma'am, when attending the practical exams, do we write all the mitosis stages or just the ones we observed under the microscope?
There you will get cells in all different stages. So you have to draw all stages
@@biologywithanujasharma4607 alright, thank you so much ma'am.
Thank you Mam
Your welcome😊😊

@@biologywithanujasharma4607 sure mam 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Do we have to heat the tips when they are in acetocarmine stain
Heating with hcl is better, so it can easily degrade and take stain properly.
@@biologywithanujasharma4607 Maam im saying to heat it 2 times, 1 time with hcl and then 1 time with acetocarmine
No, once only with HCl
Mam, maine bhi ye slide aese he banai hai but stages identify ni ho pati in compound microscope. Please help ihave practical
Do practice for perfection, n have focus on making nice n clean slide.
Ma'am its conc. or dil. HCl?
dilute HCl
2024 student attendance here😂
Present 😂
@@payaldhamija2985 me too😂
👍
Here🤣
Mam , the video was amazing but sound is too slow
We will work on it next time.
n thanks for appreciation.
God bless you.

Why roots are heated with hcl
Heating is required 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
mam do we req to keep the root tips in solution for an hour?
For better results it's required but during practical exams if it's not possible you can take it out early
Thankyou 👍🏻❤ Mam 🫡
Most welcome 😊

Mam Aaj humlog ka practical tha sirf questions lekhne ko aaya or viva hua !😐🤔
Experiment nahi hua 🙎🏻♂️😶
From where n which school you are?
Practical me 1 ghante k liye kaise rakhenge?
Don't worry, you will get sufficiant time as teachers also aware of it.
Ma'am 1 confusion h bhut video m btaya gya h ki 24hrs k liye rakhna h ....1 hr or 24 hrs??
What is the role of HCl here
It's used to separate the cells by breaking down the tissue which binds cells together

Voice is very low...although I understand it

2024 student attendance please 😂

Maam what is the minimum time for which I have to keep the root tips in the fixative
During your practical exam you can keep it 10-15 min in fixative bt if possible keep it in waterbath for better results.
2024 students attendance please😊
