Calculate the percentage of the cell cycle spent in each stage.
Number of cells in given stage ÷ total number of cells counted × 100 = % of the cell cycle spent in this stage
Create a graph that represents the time spent in each stage of the cell cycle.

I have the numbers here...Interphase 34
Prophase 8
Metaphase 3
Anaphase 2
Telophase 2
Cytokinesis 1
OpenStudy (dan815):
oaky so
OpenStudy (dan815):
just follow the formula
OpenStudy (dan815):
whats the total number of cells counter here?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk,.... i'm so lost

look at the numbers they gave u =.=
OpenStudy (dan815):
thats 50 exactly
OpenStudy (aalixh):
There's a total of 50 cells. Using the formula, here are the %'s for each phase
Interphase = 68%
Prophase = 16%
Metaphase = 6%
Anaphase = 4%
Telophase = 4%
Cytokinesis = 2%
And that all equals a perfect 100% so easy peasy.
OpenStudy (dan815):
okay now graph that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thank you both for helping me!

make sure you label your stages in order
OpenStudy (aalixh):
You'd probably have to use a pie chart
OpenStudy (dan815):
i dont know much about bio, but iif u know exactly the order these stages go in
OpenStudy (dan815):
you might get a nice looking exponential curve

Can I make a pie chart of it? and how do I do that?

idk usually pie charts are used for percentages so i think she should use that?
