Explanation of Solution

Menstruation is the monthly bleeding in women. During the end of the menstrual cycle, the level of follicle-stimulating hormone exceeds the level of luteinizing hormone. The menstrual cycle starts with bleeding and considers as day 1, and the cycle ends just before the beginning of the next menstrual cycle.

The menstrual cycle is of around 28 to 36 days. The menstrual cycle is controlled by hormones that are produced by pituitary glands such as luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. These hormones further stimulate the production of progesterone and estrogen. Approximately around 27-28 and 1-2 in 28 days cycle, the level of follicle-stimulating hormone ishigher than the luteinizing hormone.

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…
