Questions and Answers

What effect does treating onion root tips with colchicine have on chromosomes?

  • Lengthens the chromosomes and enhances spindle formation
  • Shortens the chromosomes and prevents spindle formation (correct)
  • Causes chromosomes to duplicate and split
  • Induces chromosome mutation

    • How do the chromosomes in colchicine-treated cells differ from those in non-colchicine-treated cells?

  • Absent during metaphase
  • Clumped together and irregular in shape
  • Compact and difficult to distinguish
  • Spread-out and easily countable (correct)

    • What is the purpose of using 0.04% colchicine solution in the experiment?

  • To accelerate cell division
  • To promote spindle formation
  • To arrest mitosis (correct)
