I needed help with this question. This is so far what i've got.
Q) explain why more cells are found in interphase than in any other phase of mitosis in the field of view of the dividing region of a root tip cell

Answer) More cells are found in interphase ( or early prophase) because interphase is the beginning stage to further nuclear division.

help needed by lecturers pls:)

thanks,

Hey Kombmail! This is my attempt at helping someone academically, so I may be wrong. Your question is:
Explain why more cells are found in interphase than in any other phase of mitosis in the field of view of the dividing region of a root tip cell.

Let's take the example of an onion root tip.

The time it takes for a cell in an onion root tip takes about 24 hours to divide, spending roughly 69% of the division in interphase. Why? As far as I know, interphase just takes the longest time out of all other phases.

Hope this helps!
