Discussion Questions Stages of Mitosis in a Root Tip 1. In fava beans the diploid number of chromosomes is 12 (2n = 12). How many chromosomes does a fava bean root tip cell have when it is in prophase of mitosis? What is the condition of these chromosomes - are they "single" unreplicated chromosomes or are they replicated chromosomes (each having two chromatids joined by a centromere)? 2. Describe the movement and condition (see Question #1) of the chromosomes in a fava bean root tip throughout mitosis. 3. Suppose a particular cell in a fava bean root tip has half as much DNA as other nearby cells. Name the phase of the cell cycle (be specific!) that this cell is in. Explain your answer.
