Chapter 10, Problem 2ITD
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether the radium exposure was permanent.
Introduction:
Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle or the division of a cell in which replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. The number of genetically identical cells to be maintained by cell division during mitosis, as one cell divides to form two identical cells. The major function of mitosis is cell growth and replacement of worn out cells.

- 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.
