Why are histopathologists interested in the percentage of mitotic cells in a tissue biopsy? 1.High rates of cell division (i.e. a high mitotic index) are characteristic of tumours 2.Low rates of cell division (i.e. a low mitotic index) are indicative of tumours 3.Mature differentiated cells continue to go through the cell cycle 4.They are interested in looking for misshapen cells.
