Down below are some questions and the answers to some of the research I have done on the links that were given to me. In this project I learned how to identify what stage a cell is in. I made a graph on my percentages of what percent of cells were in each stage. If you are interested in how i found my answers, click on a couple links listed below.
1. What percent of cells were in interphase?
The percentage of cells in interphase is 52.7%.
2. What percent were in mitosis?
The percentage of cells in mitosis is 47.3% because that was the percentage of everything that wasn't in interphase.
3. Which phase of mitosis takes the longest?
The phase in which mitosis takes place is prophase.
4. During which stage is the nucleolus visible as a dark spot?
The stage in which the nucleolus is visible as a dark spot is interphase.
5. How can you recognize a cell in metaphase?
You can recognize a cell in metaphase because it's part of the cell where the chromosomes move apart from each other.
6. How might you figure out how long (in minutes and/or seconds) each phase of the cell cycle takes based on the data from these onion root cells? Explain your logic and show your calculations and results below.
By turning the percentage into 100% of 60 minutes.
7. Produce a pie chart in Create-a-Graph that shows the relative lengths of each stage of the cell cycle in these cells including interphase and each stage of mitosis. You can embed the graph here or directly in your blog.
