Question

The cell below is a lung cell of a salamander. In which stage of mitosis is it? What are the structures visible in green and blue fluorescence?

Answer 1

The salamander lung cell is in the anaphase stage of mitosis, with mitotic spindles visible in green and chromosomes in light blue.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has provided an image and description of a fluorescence-stained cell undergoing mitosis. The salamander lung cell in the question is in the anaphase stage of mitosis. During anaphase, the sister chromatids separate and are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell. The structures visible in green fluorescence are the mitotic spindles, which play a critical role in separating the chromatids. The structures that appear light blue are the chromosomes, which contain the genetic material being distributed into the two new cells.

Answer 2

In which stage of mitosis is it? Metaphase

What are the structures visible in green and blue fluorescence? green show Microtubules and blue Chromosome.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chromosomes align themselves along the equatorial plane of the spindle. They are suspended by microtubules.
