Experimental question: Approximately how long does each stage of the cell cycle last? Title of Report: Abstract (finish by 2/11/22): In one sentence each, describe the purpose, procedure, and results of the investigation. Complete this section last, though it is the first section of the report. Purpose (finish by 2/3/22): Restate the purpose/experimental question. Include background info: What is the mitotic cell cycle? Why is the mitotic cell cycle important (at least 3 reasons)? What happens during each stage of the cell cycle? About how long does the cell cycle take in Allium (onion) root tip cells? How can studying Allium cells help us understand the cell cycle in our cells? State (underline and bold) your hypothesis, and defend it with background information that includes what is happening in the stages that you believe will be longest or shortest. Write the step-by-step procedure using the lab packet as a guide.. Refer to the materials used. Provide a complete materials list. Include 2 diagrams of set-up (images are available in slides): Picture of the full microscope, with at least 3 labels and a figure legend. Picture of the onion cells taken through the microscope. Include at least 3 labels and a figure legend.
