not

amount of DNA

the amount of DNA
d. The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes and the
same amount of DNA

this?
a.

Part Three: Graphing, Analysis, and Interpretation
1. Using the following table and information come up with a line graph that
highlights the data. Please remember to include a title and label the x/yaxis. You can choose to graph the number of cells in that phase or the
percentage as one of your axis (you do not have to graph both).
b) Explain/provide a reason for the data from the table/graph you just created.
