A student collected samples of cells from a woody plant during the spring and produced the drawings below. Sample 1 was collected from the woody stem of the plant. Sample 2 was collected from the root tip of the plant. Cells in different steps of mitosis are labeled with letters A, B, C, D, and E in Sample 2. Describe the role of mitosis in the growth of a plant.

The provided question is incomplete, however, the question asked is a very generalized question, answering it on the knowledge of mitosis.

The correct answer is - mitosis has a great role in the growth of plants.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in the somatic cells of an organism. During mitosis, a parent cell divides into two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes. There are no recombination takes place. This type of cell division is fast.

Mitosis occurs during asexual reproduction in the form of budding, propagation as well as repairing of the cells as they are fast, such as the regeneration of new cells. The growth of plants and development is dependent on mitosis as they produce cells more efficiently and fast and mitosis is the only cell division found in somatic cells.

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.
