Question
Step by step
4. Researchers were investigating the effect of various factors on the rate of mitosis. MPF (Mitosis
Promoting Factor) is thought to cause more cells to begin mitosis in human skin cells. To test this
hypothesis, human skin cells were cultured with plain nutrient media and with nutrient media to which
MPF was added. After 24 hours, cells were sampled, stained and observed under the microscope to
see whether they were in mitosis or interphase. The data obtained is recorded below. Use the data to
evaluate whether MPF does cause more cells to enter and thus be in mitosis. (Follow the steps as in
problem #1 on a separate sheet of paper.)
