Question
After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow. Plants grow taller through mitosis at the tips of their shoots (above ground) and at the tips of their roots (below ground). Here are two samples of tissue taken from a grass plant, one from the tip of the root and one from the mid part of the plant. Sample 2 98% 0.5% 0.2% 0.1% 0.1% Sample 1 74% 18% Stage Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase 2% What can you conclude from these data? Sample 1 is likely from tissue in the middle of the plant because most cells are in interphase Sample 2 is likely from tissue in the middle of the plant because there are fewer cells in telophase than are in prophase Sample 2 is likely from tissue in the middle of the plant because fewer cells are in any mitotic stage. Sample 1 is likely from tissue in the middle of the plant because fewer cells are in any mitotic stage than in sample 2. SubmitPr evio SW ues Incorrect: One attempt remaining: Try AgainExplanation / Answer
I believe the correct option to be C) Sample 2 is likely from tissue in the middle of the plant because fewer cells are in any mitotic stage since in all the stages of mitosis ( Pro to Telo), the percentage is very less meaning cells are not actively dividing.
