While jeff was looking Under the microscope at cells in different stages of the cell cycle he commented on the fact that many cells were in the same stage. If you were looking under the compound light microscope at an onion root tip, what stage with the majority of the cells be in the cell cycle?

a. metaphase

b. cytokinesis

c. interphase

d. anaphase

e. prophase

Jackson Harrell · Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Interphase is the uniform phase for all cells division'. It signifies the begin of any cell cycle division. it is the period of prolong rest by the cells to prepare for the long journey of cell division. It involved replication of DNA, of organelles to be distributed in the daughter cells, accumulation of food resources.,

It is made up of the G1, for normal growth of cells and function of cells, doubling of organelles numbers.

S=synthesis stage, for DNA and genetic material replications

and the G2 phase growth resumption and preparation of cells division.

Therefore since all cells must undergo Interphase and carry out all the above processes prior to cell division, this stage (interphase) must be uniform to all cells.
