Question

During a biology lab, students recorded that number of times an onion cell was was in each phase of the cell

cycle. The data is shown.
Interphase-461
Prophase-12
Metaphase-2
Anaphase-2
Telophase-3
Which phase/phases accounted for less than a half percent of the number of onion cells separately?

Answer 1

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B) "Metaphase and Anaphase".

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the notes of the biology lab, the total number of onion cells is 480 (461 + 12 + 2 + 2 + 3). Therefore, half percent of 480 corresponds to 2.4 (480 * 0.005). Since in each case the number of onion cells that were in the Metaphase and Anaphase were only 2, these two phases accounted for less than a half percent of the number of onion cells separately.
