Post by: Astatine on Apr 9, 2015
A population of T cells has been stimulated to proliferate in response to a particular antigen. A sample of 1000 cells is examined microscopically, revealing that 200 of these cells are in the various stages of mitosis. Of the remaining 800 in interphase, 400 have x amount of DNA, 250 have 2x, and the remaining 150 have amounts somewhere between x and 2x. Additional analysis reveals that the G2 phase of the cell cycle lasts 2 hours. What is the total length of the cell cycle? 
A) 2.5 hours 
B) 4 hours 
C) 6.4 hours 
D) 8 hours 
E) 13.3 hours
