The aim of present investigation is to check the clastogenic effects of soft drink at different concentrations on mitosis of Allium cepa L. In the present study the two different concentrations of soft drink was taken in beaker (50% and 100%) and\n dipped the Allium cepa root tip for different time exposure (6 hrs. and 8 hrs.) was carried out and it was found that both the concentration of soft drink and time exposure with Allium cepa affect the mitotic index of Allium cepa. The result further showed that Soft drink induced mitotic abnormalities like C-mitosis, Stickiness, Adherent chromosome and Laggard of chromosomes in 50%\n concentration whereas in 100% concentration the chromosomes destroyed. All the readings were compared with the normal mitotic index.
