Question

Upon examining a sample consisting of 100 cells, you find the following distribution of cell phases. If you know that the cell cycle for this type of cell takes two hours, how long, on average, does the cell spend in prophase

Answer 1

Answer:

the time that cell spend in prophase is 30 minutes

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

= Number of cell ÷ sample

= 25 ÷ 100

= 1 ÷ 4

Now it takes two hours

So,

= 1 ÷ 4 × 2 hours

= 0.5

This 0.5 represent the 30 minutes

Hence, the time that cell spend in prophase is 30 minutes
