Suppose you observed 32 whitefish blastula cells. One cell was in metaphase, 3 were in anaphase, 8 were in prophase, and 4 were

in telophase. Assuming you assigned a cell cycle phase to each of the 32 cells, calculate the percent of time the whitefish blastula cells spend in interphase.

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Eight prophase cells, one metaphase cell,three anaphase cells, and four telophase cells. It results in 8 + 1+ 3 + 4 = 16 cells.This indicates that the remaining cells of 32-16 = 16 were in interphase.This means the cells spend the maximum amount of time in interphase.This time is equal to half the total cells.

So, if it's a 24-hour process,the interphase should spend 12 hours.

Six hours of prophase, 45 minutes in metaphase and 2 hour, 15 minutes in anaphase, and 3 hours in telophase.

What are the structural and functional similarities and differences between mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Similarities between Mitochondria and Chloroplasts-

Both mitochondria and chloroplast consists of DNA , have two membranes, have fluids inside them and convert energy.

Difference between Mitochondria and Chloroplasts-

They have different number of compartments, have different functions, and are involved in different energy processes.

Explanation:

Difference in Mitochondria and Chloroplasts-

a) Chloroplast is found in plants and unicellular organism and Mitochondria is found  all cells.

b) Chloroplast converts solar energy into chemical energy while Mitochondria converts one form of chemical energy into other form of chemical energy

c) Chloroplast is involved in photosynthesis while mitochondria is involved in cellular respiration.

d) Chloroplast has three parts i) Thylakoid ii) stroma  and iii) granum while mitochondria has three parts i) Critsa ii) Matrix

Similarities between Mitochondria and Chloroplasts-

Ling made a study chart for science class.

Alyssa's additional observation would be cell Y having a larger vacuole than cell X. The third option is the correct one.

<h3>Plant cell vs animal cell</h3>

From the observations, both cells are eukaryotic. This is because:

  • cell X has lysosomes which are only found in eukaryotic cells
  • cell Y has a nucleus which also peculiar to eukaryotic cells only

Lysosome houses digestive enzymes and is found mostly in animal cells. Only a few plant cells have lysosomes.

Thus, the lack of a lysosome means that cell Y is a plant cell while the presence means that cell X is an animal cell.

Generally, plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells.
