You are observing different tissue samples and classifying the cells into their respective stage in the cell cycle. Using what y
ou know about cancer cells, formulate which sample do you suspect contains cancer cells? A) Sample B Is is most likely cancerous because most of the cells are in interphase.
Eliminate
B) Sample B is most likely cancer tissue because most cells are in some stage of mitosis.
C) Only Sample A indicates possible cancer cells due to the high number of cells in prophase.
D) Samples A & C indicate cancer due to the large proportion of cells in some stage of mitosis compared to the cells in interphase.
Answer:D) Samples A & C indicate cancer due to the large proportion of cells in some stage of mitosis compared to the cells in interphase.
Sample: Number of Cells in Interphase Number of Cells in Prophase Number of Cells in Metaphase Number of Cells in Anaphase Number of Cells in Telophase
