For the Data and Observation refer the image attached.
Data Analysis:
Calculate the percentage of the cell cycle spent in each stage.
Number of cells in given stage ÷ total number of cells counted × 100 = % of the cell cycle spent in this stage
Conclusion:
Be sure to answer the following reflection questions in the conclusion of your lab report:
Based on your data, what can you infer about the length of time spent in each stage of the cell cycle?
The most time is used in the cell cycle is in the interphase.
What stages were the longest and shortest? Give a brief explanation of why these stages may have that time period.
The longest phase of the cell cycle is the Interphase. Most of the total time of cell cycle is spent in the Interphase. The reason for this being is that the cell prepares itself for its division, and also in this phase, the necessary protein for the duplication of organelles occurs.
Answer:
Mitosis is a process of cell division that leads into formation of two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the original cell. So this is greatly important to living organisms because Mitosis is a way of making more cells that are genetically the same as the parent cell. It plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and development of our bodies as well. Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old, lost or damaged.
Good Luck!!!
Explanation:
Dominant- determines the dominant character, more frequently found in the population, produces the complete polypeptide, does not require the presence of a similar gene, more likely to be inherited, more prone to produce diseases
recessive- responsible for the recessive character, expresses the recessive trait, produces an incomplete polypeptide, requires the presence of a similar gene, less likely to be inherited, less prone to produce disease
