Explanation of Solution

The artificial retinal technology is very expensive but it can be a boon for blind people. There are many blind people present in the world that may have lost their vision due to retinal diseases or because of some accidents. There is no such medicine and treatment developed for the proper cure of retinal diseases so retina implantation is advantageous for blind people.

Retinal disease does not affect the ganglion and neurons. There is no such other visual treatment evolved for the treatment of blind people, so, the retinal implantation is the only method for treatment of blind. But on the other hand this method is very much expensive.

Health insurance companies may give the cost of $ 115,000 for artificial retinal implantation it must be followed under proper protocols and focus on other cheaper technique must also be done.

Conclusion

The health insurance companies should give a claim for the cost of $ 115,000 to blind people for the artificial retina implantation under various strict terms and conditions.

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.
