Question

data table (3 points)

stage	numbers of cells - field 1	numbers of cells - field 2	total (add fields 1 & 2)
prophase	4
metaphase	4
anaphase	0
telophase	14

Explanation:

Step1: Count Field 2 interphase cells

Count the round, undivided cells: $52$

Step2: Count Field 2 prophase cells

Count cells with condensed chromosomes: $5$

Step3: Count Field 2 metaphase cells

Count cells with chromosomes at equator: $3$

Step4: Count Field 2 anaphase cells

Count cells with separated chromosomes: $4$

Step5: Count Field 2 telophase cells

Count cells with 2 new nuclei: $6$

Step6: Calculate total for each stage

Add Field 1 and Field 2 values:

• Interphase: $72 + 52 = 124$
• Prophase: $4 + 5 = 9$
• Metaphase: $4 + 3 = 7$
• Anaphase: $0 + 4 = 4$
• Telophase: $14 + 6 = 20$

Answer:

Stage	Field 1	Field 2	Total (add Fields 1 &2)
Prophase	4	5	9
Metaphase	4	3	7
Anaphase	0	4	4
Telophase	14	6	20
