If you were looking under the compound light microscope at an onion root tip, in what stage of the cell cycle would the majority of the cells be?

Answer: Stage M (Mitosis).

Explanation: The root tip is a meristem and this means that the root tip is responsible for the root growth. To do that, root tip cells divides actively to form  root tissues, so that if we look an onion root tip under the microscope, the majority of cells will be in division, called mitosis, or Stage M of the cell cycle.

Even in a growing root tip, the general public of the cells will possibly be in interphase. In interphase, they will appear like 'ordinary' plant cells, with a dark and well-defined nucleus. keep in mind that even though interphase is the segment cells spend the maximum time in, they are no longer inactive.

Why is the onion root tip used to demonstrate mitosis in this experiment?

it's miles the meristematic cells that are located inside the tip of the roots that render the maximum suitable and appropriate raw material to take a look at the extraordinary ranges of mitosis. Onion is a monocot plant.
