Following the cell cycle scheme given below, what is the probaility that a cell would be in M-phase at any given time ?

A

`1//2`

B

`1//12`

C

`1//6`

D

`1//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Total time for cell cycle =24 hrs.
Time for M-phase =2 hrs
So, probability of cell in M-phase at any given time is `(2)/(24)rarr(1)/(12)`
