What are the functionalroles of the mitotic spindle in an animal cell? Explain how thesefunctions are related to the three types of microtubules: aster, polar,and kinetochore microtubules.
In class, we talked about flow cytometry which allows scientists to determine what stage of the cell cycle cells are in by measuring their DNA content. Draw what the graph would look like for the mutant below at a 0-time point when there are 1000 cells total, with 5000 cells in G1, 350 cells in M and G2, and 150 cells in S phase. And then a graph of 1 hour later when the cells should have competed for mitosis: → loss of function of cdc25

Biologists have long been interested in the effects of radiation on cells. In one experiment, researchers examined the effect of radium on mitosis of chick embryo cells growing in culture. A population of experimental cells was examined under the microscope for the number of cells in telophase (as a measure of mitosis occurring) before, during, and after exposure to radium. The results are shown in the Figure. What is the effect of radium exposure on mitosis? Source: R. G. Canti and M. Donaldson. 1926. The effect of radium on mitosis in vitro.
