S phase c. prophase d. prometaphasearrow_forwardBiologists have long been interested in the effects of radiation on cells. In one experiment, researchers examined the effect of radium on mitosis of chick embryo cells growing in culture. A population of experimental cells was examined under the microscope for the number of cells in telophase (as a measure of mitosis occurring) before, during, and after exposure to radium. The results are shown in the Figure. What is the effect of radium exposure on mitosis? Source: R. G. Canti and M. Donaldson. 1926. The effect of radium on mitosis in vitro.

Which scenario could explain how such a multinucleated cell might have come to be? (a) The cell underwent repeated mitosis with simultaneous cytokinesis. (b) The cell had multiple S phases before it entered mitosis. (c) The cell underwent repeated mitosis, but cytokinesis did not occur. (d) The cell underwent repeated cytokinesis but no mitosis. (e) The cell actually went through meiosis and not mitosis.arrow_forward
