Summary Introduction

Introduction: The human eye is a sensory organ. It reacts with light and permits the light perception, depth perception and color vision. Magnification can be defined as the process of intensifying not physical size but the visible size, of something. This amplification is quantified by a calculated number. When this value is less than one then it is known as a reduction in size. It is known as the de-magnification or minification.

Answer to Problem 1PL

Correct answer: 

The correct answer is the option (c). 0.1 millimeter.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer: 

Option (c). 0.1 millimeter. According to research, humans can see objects small as approximate 0.1 millimeters about the regular vision. It is exclusive of the help of any tools. The smallest things humans can see are human hair and lice with the help of their eyes. Both of these objects could be viewed with the naked eye and under a microscope. Hence, the option (c) is correct.

Explanation for the correct answer: 

Option (a) one inch. It can easily be seen with naked eyes as inch is a larger than a centimeter. Hence, the option (a) is incorrect. 

Option (b) one millimeter. It is the smallest unit in a centimeter. Hence, the option (b) is incorrect. 

Option (d) One centimeter. It consisite of 10 millimeter subunits. Hence, the option (d) is incorrect.

Conclusion

According to research, humans can see objects small as approximate 0.1 millimeters about the regular vision. It is exclusive of the help of any tools. Hence, the option (c) is correct.

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…
