Question

yeah i like suck at maths......

Answer 1

Mitosis in Allium (onion) normally takes about 80 minutes at room temperature. You can
calculate the amount of time each stage takes. This is because the percentage of the cells in a particular stage of mitosis is equal to the percentage of 80 minutes that the stage takes.From this information, calculate the amount of time each stage of mitosis takes. Record youranswers in the Data Table.

For example: If there were 8 percent of the cells in metaphase, then 8 percent of 80 minutes would be 6.4 minutes 80 x .08 = 6.4 minutes (8% is 8/100 which is .08). This would be theamount of time that metaphase takes.

Answer 2

@UnkleRhaukus i think we can work out the "minutes" thing by doing this

Answer 3

remembering we have
prophase 78 and 39.39%
metaphase 112 and 56.57%
anaphase 5 and 2.53%
telophase 3 and 1.52%

Answer 4

Answer 5

Hello,

Convert the percentages into decimal notation. So for prophase it is 39.39% which i s 0.3939 we ge this by dividing the percentage by 100.

Next to find the amount of time that stage takes we do:
\[80 \cdot 0.3939 = 31.512~\text{minutes}\]

I can do another example if you need a deeper explanation, just ask me.

Peace.

Answer 6

hey thank you i think i will be okay

Answer 7

WAIT

Answer 8

HEY

Answer 9

80⋅0.3939=31.512 minutes

Answer 10

how did you work that out?

Answer 11

you didnt divide it so did you times it?

Answer 12

wait you only times it by 10 not 100 as you said before

Answer 13

The question gives us:
80 minutes.

0.3939 comes from:
Prophase 78 and 39.39%
Convert percentage to decimal.
\[39.39 \div 100 = 0.3939\]

Hence:
31.512 minutes

Answer 14

how did you...convert?

Answer 15

from 0.3939 into 31.512 minutes

Answer 16

Ah, that is not a conversion.

I did:
80 times 0.3939 = 31.512

Answer 17

Oh man youre so smart

Answer 18

one sec dont go anywhere i'll see if i can do the next one

Answer 19

All right. ^_^

Answer 20

okay but what is the dot between 80⋅0.3939 signify?

Answer 21

\[\cdot = \times\]

Generally, the dot is used as you get into algebra due to the variable \(x\) sometimes becomes mixed up with the \(\times\) symbol. So it means exactly the same things as times.

Answer 22

ahhhhh so i see

Answer 23

For metaphase it is 56.57% which is 0.5657 we get this by dividing the percentage by 100. Next to find the amount of time that stage takes we do: 80 x 0.5657 = 45.256 minutes

Answer 24

correct, no?

Answer 25

Verily you are correct.

Celebrate with a bite of burrito.

Answer 26

For anaphase it is 2.53% which is 0.0253 we get this by dividing the percentage by 100. Next to find the amount of time that stage takes we do: 80 x 0.0253 = 2.024 minutes

Answer 27

Correct again.

Answer 28

ONE LAST ONE.....

Answer 29

For telophase it is 1.52% which is 0.0152 we get this by dividing the percentage by 100. Next to find the amount of time that stage takes we do: 80 x 0.0152 = 1.216 minutes.

Answer 30

Correct. Now to check if everything was done correctly:
\[31.512 + 45.256 + 2.024 + 1.216 = 80.008\]

Which is correct since it normally takes \(\textbf{about}\) 80 minutes.
