3. Calculate: You can use your data to estimate the duration of each phase of the cell cycle. For example, if 8% of the cells were in prophase and the cell cycle was 10 hours long, then prophase would last 8% of 10 hours, or 0.8 hours (48 minutes). Use percentages to estimate the duration of each phase of the cell cycle. Show your work.

Answer:

Cell has two main phases; i) inter-phase and mitotic phase, which are further divided into sub types.

Explanation:

As given

For example, if 8% of the total cells were in prophase of cell cycle.

Length of cell cycle= 10 hours long, and prophase= 8% of 10 hours, or as , 0.8 hours (48 minutes).

Using % to estimate the duration of each phase of the cell cycle, the duration would be;

Interphase: 0.845×10=8.45 8hr27min

Prophase: 0.077×10=0.77 46.2min

Metaphase: 0.01×10= 0.1 6min

Anaphase: 0.025×10=0.25 15min
