Which of the following best describes a correct interpretation of the changes in chromosomes number depicted in Figure 1? A. Restate the question and record the right answer. B. Why is this the correct answer?arrow_forwardScientists are able to isolate cells in various phases of the cell cycle. During an experiment in which Dr. Patrick McGroyn is causing cultured tumor cells to go through mitotic cell division, he isolates a group of cells that contain one and a half times more DNA than cells isolated in the G1 phase have.

Indicate the phase when chromosome duplication occurs.arrow_forward
- In a population of cells that were actively dividing, what proportion (or percentage) of cells do you think would be in mitosis at any given time? AND In a couple of sentences, defend your answer.
