Summary Introduction

To determine: The organelle that is visible to the upper right in the micrograph.

Introduction: The cell is the basic structural and functional, as well as the biological unit of all living organisms. Cells may differ in shape but every cell share certain structural as well as functional features: cytoplasm, plasma membrane, and DNA. Moreover, cells possess various organelles, mitochondria, nucleus, and endoplasmic reticulum to perform essential functions that are vital for cell growth.

Explanation of Solution

In the given image, the rough endoplasmic reticulum is prominent to the upper right in the micrograph. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of tubes and flattened sacs, and it is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. The endoplasmic reticulum is classified into different types, namely rough ER and smooth ER. The rough endoplasmic reticulum usually possesses ribosomes attached to it and thus involved in protein synthesis.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
