Hypothesis: What do you predict you will find about the number of cells in each of the phases of the cell cycle? Provide an expl
anation for your prediction.
2 answers:
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.
