  i got a question
  what is the best material for studying mitosis in the lab?
  a)anther
  b)root tip
  c)leaf tip
  what if i add another option
  d)shoot tip
  i think both root and shoot tips can be used
  but i have never been to a lab and am not sure

  I have no idea what a shoot tip is, but rrot tip is ok. But you need a good microscope

  i think that the shoot tip is the apical meristem of the plant

  shoot tip= tip of the shoot
  shoot=A young branch which sprouts from the main stock.

  In that case, yes, a shoot tip would also be good.
  The classic study of mitosis is done on root cells of onion

  root tips will always be a better option for studying mitosis , as shoot tips might cause a problem in visualization due to presence of chloroplasts. onion , garlic root tips give exellent results for mitotic studies
