Question

PLEASE HELP 50 POINTS!!!!Which of the following best describes the approximate number of cells in the culture that are in interphase, as well as the consequence of the severe disruption of interphase in mitotic division of cells within a tissue?

A) There are approximately 917 cells in interphase. Disruption of interphase will have no effect on mitosis because they are two completely independent processes.

B)There are approximately 83 cells in interphase. Disruption of interphase will lead to a faster and more efficient mitotic cycle, which will result in increased cell division and tissue growth.

C)There are approximately 917 cells in interphase. Disruption of interphase will trigger the cell to switch to a mitotic phase and repeatedly divide, which will result in the massive proliferation of the cells and heightened tissue growth.

D)There are approximately 83 cells in interphase. Disruption of interphase will result in the cell being unable to synthesize proteins and organelles required to divide, which will result in the cell not passing key checkpoints and ceasing to divide.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D, "there are approximately 83 cells in interphase. Disruption of interphase will result in the cell being unable to synthesize proteins and organelles required to divide, which will result in the cell not passing key checkpoints and ceasing to divide."

Hope this helps!
