1. Your colleague is running an experiment on cell cycle. He grows cells in three conditions: control, addition of chemical X (which induces cell division), and addition of a chemical Y (which disrupts formation of microtubules). He adds each condition to a different microscope slide and stains the cells with fluorescent reagents to highlight the DNA. Only after he is done, he realizes that he forgot to label the slides! Below is a graph of the results he collected from each slide. To which experimental condition (control, Chemical X, or chemical Y) does each slide correspond to? Explain your rationale.

Transcribed Image Text:1. Your colleague is running an experiment on cell cycle. He grows cells in three conditions: control,
addition of chemical X (which induces cell division), and addition of a chemical Y (which disrupts
formation of microtubules). He adds each condition to a different microscope slide and stains the cells
with fluorescent reagents to highlight the DNA. Only after he is done, he realizes that he forgot to
label the slides! Below is a graph of the results he collected from each slide. To which experimental
condition (control, Chemical X, or chemical Y) does each slide correspond to? Explain your rationale.
