You are observing different tissue samples and classifying the cells into their respective stage in the cell cycle. What can you conclude about Sample B based on these observations? A) Sample B Is is most likely cancerous because most of the cells are in interphase. B) Sample B is most likely cancer tissue because most cells are in some stage of mitosis. C) Sample B is most likely a normal tissue sample because most of the cells are in interphase. D) Sample B is most likely a normal tissue sample because most cells are in some stage of mitosis.

D) Samples A & C indicate cancer due to the large proportion of cells in some stage of mitosis compared to the cells in interphase.

Sample: Number of Cells in Interphase Number of Cells in Prophase Number of Cells in Metaphase Number of Cells in Anaphase Number of Cells in Telophase

Sample A 6 15 4 7 8

Sample B 25 4 2 3 1

Sample C 4 9 5 3 6
