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

OpenStudy (dan815):

just add all the numbers

OpenStudy (dan815):

34+8+3+2+21 =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 68

OpenStudy (dan815):

oh lol thats a typo

OpenStudy (dan815):

34+8+3+2+2+1 =

OpenStudy (dan815):

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!

OpenStudy (dan815):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (aalixh):

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