Looking at the onion root tip under the microscope you can see large, rectangular cells with visible distinct cell walls surrounding it (cells have a more regular shape because of the wall). Inside the cells, you can notice darkly stained nucleus, large vacuoles at the center and sometimes small granules within the cytoplasm. Looking the onion root tip under the microscope is often the way to observe mitosis. Usually, you cannot see organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, centrioles and Golgi body as they appear translucent and because are too small to be seen under the light microscope (electron microscope required). Also, chloroplasts are not present in an onion cell because it is not a photosynthetic cell.
Answer:
<em>The correct option is B) Binary fission maintains genetic continuity because the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.</em>
Explanation:
Genetic continuity can be described as a fact that the daughter cells have the same amount and same type of genome as the parent cell. It includes the transfer of parental traits to children.
Binary fission can be described as a process of division which bacteria divides. Two daughter cells are produced as a result of binary fission. Each daughter cell is identical to the parent cell and hence maintains genetic continuity.
<span>B. the creation of two daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell has by the process of cell division
