Mary determined that 5 pollen grains could fit along the diameter of the field of view of her microscope. If each pollen grain has a diameter of 0.3mm what is the diameter in millimeters of the field of view of Mary's microscope 1.5mm
15mm
4.7mm
5.3mm

1.5mm

Explanation:

According to this question, Mary is trying to view 5 pollen grains under her microscope. She found out that the 5 pollen grains each with a diameter of 0.3mm could fit along the diameter of the field of view of her microscope.

This means that the diameter of the field of view of Mary's microscope can be calculated as follows:

Diameter of each pollen × no. of pollen that fit in

= 0.3mm × 5

= 1.5mm

Hence, the diameter of the field of view of Mary's microscope is 1.5mm.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
