A section of elodea leaf is stained and examined under a microscope. The total number of cells in each stage of the cell cycle is as follows:
Interphase- 150
Prophase- 20
Prometaphase- 11
Metaphase- 6
Anaphase- 5
Telophase- 1
If the complete cell cycle in an elodea leaf is 24 hrs. What is the average duration of metaphase in the cycle. Assume no cells are in G0.
The image shows a section of a root tip of Broad Bean with cells from the region of cell division, just behind the root cap. Five cells have been numbered (1-5). Which statements accurately describe the mechanism by which the cells ensure that chromosomes are passed successfully to the next generation? Select ALL that apply.
A - Cell 2 is undergoing anaphase to separate the duplicated chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell.
B - Cell 1 lacks chromosomes and cannot contribute genetic material to future cells.
C - Cells 4 and 5 have recently divided and are now haploid, containing half of a full set of chromosomes after division.
D - Cells 4 and 5 have recently divided and have a cell plate that formed between them.
E - Cell 3 is providing a mechanism for increasing genetic diversity in the daughter cells.

- The following diagram is meant to help you understand how the amount of DNA in a cell changes as the cell cycle progresses. On the diagram, identify two of the stages of the cell cycle being described and identify how much DNA exists per cell, where a cell is defined as a distinct nucleus. Note that the sequence of images highlights one of the chromosomes of the cell. The other chromosomes, while also present, are faded in the background.

- A student examines a thin section of an onion-root tip and records the number of cells that are in each stage of the cell cycle. She observes 94 cells in interphase, 14 cells in prophase, 3 cells in prometaphase, 3 cells in metaphase, 5 cells in anaphase, and 1 cell in telophase. If the complete cell cycle in an onion-root tip requires 22 hours, what is the average duration of each stage in the cycle? Assume that all cells are in the active cell cycle (not G0).arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a chromosomes and a chromatids? a) there is no difference they are the same b) chromatids is always one stand of dna chromosomes can be one or two strand depending on the phase of the cell cycle c) chromatids is always two strands of dna chromosomes can be one or two stands depending on the phase of the cell cycle d) chromosomes are homologous chromatids are identicalarrow_forward1) Examine the picture of an onion root tip with cells in various stages of the cell cycle. A student claims that interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle. Another student claims that mitosis is the longest stage. Using evidence from the photo, determine which student is correct and why. A) Mitosis is the longest stage because anaphase requires more time to separate chromatids. B) Interphase is the longest stage because chromosomes are visible in the majority of the cells. C) Mitosis is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo are replicating their DNA. D) Interphase is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo have uncondensed chromatin and are not dividing. Not Gradedarrow_forward
