how would the graph appear 12.2 if the y aaxis represented the percentage of cells labeled, not just the ones undergoing mitosis
The graph would contain a straight horizontal line, indicating that the percentage of radiolabeled cells in the culture does not vary over time. The value of the line would be about 30 percent, reflecting the proportion of cells in the asynchronous culture that would have been radiolabeled during the pulse. (S phase is about a third of the cell cycle.)

telophase
if the shown cell has 60 picograms of DNA & 22 chromosomes in the G1 phase how much DNA and chromosomes are in 1. the prophase, anaphase, and each daugther cell.
(1) The prophase cell has replicated its DNA, so it will have twice as much DNA (120 picograms). Each chromosome will have two chromatids, but the number of chromosomes will remain at 22. (2) The anaphase cell still has 120 pg of DNA, but when the chromatids separate, each is defined as a daughter chromosome, so the cell has 44 chromosomes. (3) After cytokinesis, each daughter cell will have as much DNA (60 pg) and as many chromosomes (22) as the parent cell in G1 phase. If you stated that the daughter cells have more or less DNA or chromosomes than the parent cell, recall that mitotic cell division does not change the number of chromosomes or the amount of DNA.

interphase stuff
-cell spends most of their time in it -prepare to divide or growing -chromosomes long strings
Consider an animal cell in which motor proteins in the kinetochores normally pull the chromosomes along the kinetochore microtubules during mitosis. Suppose, however, that during metaphase, this cell was treated with an inhibitor that blocks the function of the motor proteins in the kinetochore, but allows the kinetochore to remain attached to the spindle. The inhibitor has no effect on any other mitotic process, including the function of the nonkinetochore microtubules.
