Toxic Effect of Paracetamol on Mitotic Index of Onion Root Tip

The toxic effect of Paracetamol on Mitotic index of onion root tip developed over a period of 72 hours in three different concentration of 0.5 ml, 0.25 ml and 0.125 ml. The percentage of total dividing cell were found more or less as control and there was no significant difference in Mitotic index. But paracetamol was shown to induce abnormalities at these concentration including Binucleated cell, Double Anaphase, Multipolar Spindle, Anaphase Bridge, Double Prophase, Metaphase abnormalities etc. Taken together the data that Paracetamol can cause cytotoxic effect but not cause much affect on mitotic index of onion root tip cell.
