How It Is Used
Students look at each slide in turn: a distinct nucleus at interphase, chromosomes condensing at prophase, lining up on the equator at metaphase and being pulled apart at anaphase, then new nuclear envelopes forming at telophase. Onion root tip is used because its chromosomes are large and easy to see.
