Question

use the letters: i p m a t
math: calculate the % of cells in each phase.
cells in phase ÷ total # of cells × 100

1. what percentage of the cells are in interphase? 54%
2. what percentage of the cells are in metaphase? 13%
3. what percentage of the cells are in anaphase?______%

Explanation:

Step1: Count total number of cells

The total number of cells is 22.

Step2: Count number of cells in anaphase

By observing the cells and the corresponding letters (where 'a' represents anaphase), we count 3 cells in anaphase.

Step3: Calculate percentage

Using the formula $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Cells in phase}}{\text{total \# of cells}}\times100$, we substitute the values: $\frac{3}{22}\times100\approx13.64$. Rounding to the nearest whole - number gives 14.

Answer:

14
