Question
Chapter 16.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The functions of three types of microtubules.
Introduction:
Microtubule growth and organization is initiated at two centrosomes which are also called microtubule-organizing centers Mitotic spindles are composed of microtubules, which are the major components of the cytoskeleton. Astral, polar and kinetochore microtubules are three types of spindle microtubules.

Objective: To review the phases of mitosis with the understanding that in a real tissue or a non-synchronized cell culture, different mitotic phases and cells in interphase will be observed at a certain time.
Interphase is the period between mitotic events; all other phases are part of mitosis and their individual probabilities add up to the total probability of seeing cells undergoing mitosis.
Pay attention to the individual probabilities for cells in each phase of the cell cycle.
Problem N° 10
For a certain type of animal tissue, the probability of a randomly selected cell being in a particular stage of the interphase/mitosis cycle is given by the following table:
Stage
Probability
Interphase
0.5
Prophase
0.1
Metaphase
0.05
Anaphase
0.2
Telophase
0.15
Suppose you examine 100 cells at random from this tissue.
A) How many cells do you expect to see in metaphase? _____ cells
B) You have selected a high magnification (2000 X) in your…
