Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association of fungi with the root systems of some plants. The fungal hyphae either form a dense network around the young roots or they penetrate the cells of the roots. The large surface area of the fungal hyphae is helpful in increasing the absorption of water and minerals from the soil. In return, they get sugar and nitrogenous compounds from the host plants. The mycorrhizal association is obligate in some plants. For example, Pinus seeds do not germinate and establish in the absence of mycorrhizal.

Mitosis is also known as equational division as the number of chromosomes in parent cell is same as daughter cells. It is an important process of cell as it helps in replacement of cell and also responsible for the Formation of new cell in developing embryo, fetus and infants. During this phase the chromatin protein which a complex of DNA and protein become highly condensed and visible under light microscope. In mitosis chromosome divide and sister chromatids separates. Due to this separation each chromatids are called chromosomes and are diploid in nature as they receive a complete set of chromosome and are genetically identical to each other.
