Ok so the question is:
On the drawing of a longitudinal section of a root shown below (attached image), indicate the region of the root in which you see cells undergoing mitosis. Also indicate on the drawing where the youngest and oldest tissues are found.
We haven't really covered mitosis/meiosis in lecture so it's difficult for me to locate where these processes are occuring. I know mitosis involves the division of the nucleus to create two identical nuclei, but how would i identify this on the photo. Also how am i  supposed to know the differences between youngest and oldest tissues?

I would say those are the major areas where mitosis is rapidly taking place due to the size of the cells. Notice how they are smaller than the rest. I have no idea what the person above me is getting at though.

Thanks bio_man! Where do you think the youngest and oldest tissues are located on the drawing though?

Youngest is where mitosis is actively occurring, I'd think. Not sure what your teacher is looking for...
