Plants grow taller through mitosis at the tips of their shoots (above ground) and at the tips of their roots (below ground) . Here are two samples of tissue taken from a grass plant, one from the tip of the root and one from the mid part of the plant.
-What can you conclude from these data?
A) Sample 1 is likely from tissue in the middle of the plant because most cells are in interphase.
B) Sample 2 is likely from tissue in the middle of the plant because there are fewer cells in telophase than are in prophase
C) Sample 2 is likely from tissue in the middle of the plant because fewer cells are in any mitotic stage.
D) Sample 1 is likely from tissue in the middle of the plant because fewer cells are in any mitotic stage than in sample 2.
