Astudent is looking through a microscope at some cells of an onion root tip. many of these cells are undergoing division since the root tip grows quickly and requires more cells. which cell most recently underwent metaphase? w x y z

C. Y

Explanation:

The person above is correct, here's proof:

The cell that most recently underwent metaphase is ;  cell Y ( C )

Metaphase is the stage of cell division in cells whereby the chromosomes tend to align themselves into the center position ( centromere )of the cell undergoing metaphase. this chromosomes are known as chromatids.

Metaphase is a also the second stage in a cell division process given that the cells of an onion tip replicates very fast the rate of cell division move quickly between the stages of cell division. therefore cell that most recently underwent metaphase is cell Y .

Hence we can conclude that The cell that most recently underwent metaphase is  cell Y
