Suppose you observed 32 whitefish blastula cells. One cell was in metaphase, 3 were in anaphase, 8 were in prophase, and 4 were in telophase. Assuming you assigned a cell cycle phase to each of the 32 cells, calculate the percent of time the whitefish blastula cells spend in interphase.

    Explanation:

    Eight prophase cells, one metaphase cell, three anaphase cells, and four telophase cells. It results in 8 + 1 + 3 + 4 = 16 cells. This indicates that the remaining cells of 32-16 = 16 were in interphase. This means the cells spend the maximum amount of time in interphase. This time is equal to half the total cells.

    So, if it's a 24-hour process, the interphase should spend 12 hours.

    Six hours of prophase, 45 minutes in metaphase and 2 hour, 15 minutes in anaphase, and 3 hours in telophase.
