- In order to investigate the cell cycle in HEK293 cells in culture, I ran a flow cytometry experiment. I labeled their nuclei with DAPI to analyze DNA content. In these flow cytometry plots below, label the two main phases of the cell cycle that you can see. Briefly, explain your answer.arrow_forwardThe image shows a section of a root tip of Broad Bean with cells from the region of cell division, just behind the root cap. Five cells have been numbered (1-5). Which statements accurately describe the mechanism by which the cells ensure that chromosomes are passed successfully to the next generation? Select ALL that apply. A - Cell 2 is undergoing anaphase to separate the duplicated chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell. B - Cell 1 lacks chromosomes and cannot contribute genetic material to future cells. C - Cells 4 and 5 have recently divided and are now haploid, containing half of a full set of chromosomes after division. D - Cells 4 and 5 have recently divided and have a cell plate that formed between them. E - Cell 3 is providing a mechanism for increasing genetic diversity in the daughter cells.arrow_forwardHello, I need help to draw mitosis cell for this type of plant, called Chrysopogon aciculatus which I believe reproduces through seeds.
