During cytokinesis the chromosomes unwind and become a pile of very long, thin, thread-like dna and the cell goes back to looking "normal" until mitosis begins again. brainstorm with your group ideas why the dna must coil up into chromosome structures before it divides.

one is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma

and sclerenchyma cells) become well

developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. the xylem

tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young

plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding

plant cells.
