Assume that the percentage of the total time that any given phase take sis equal to the percentage of cells in that phase at any moment Why might this not be true for very small samples of cel?

I had this same question on one of my Biology packets. The answer is actually more simple than you would think.
This might not be true for small samples of cells because when you are examining a smaller sample, the probability that the percentage will match the time becomes less. The lower the sample, the lower the probability that the time would match the percentage.
Hope this helps!

Taste receptor cells are modified epithelial cells.
What is the difference between cheek cells seen under the microscope and those illustrated in text books?
The major difference between cheek cells seen under a microscope and those in illustrated text books are the samples used. Different samples will yield different results.?æ
Another name for body cell?

Why will most of the cells you view be in interphase?
Most of the cells you view be in interphase at all times. This is because that is the normal resting phase that cells will assume most of the time.

Does the heart carry dissolved food away from body cells?
If your blood contains dissolved food, you are in BIG trouble, but only for a moment... after a moment you will be dead. The blood brings glucose to the cells, and the cells extract energy from the glucose. This is the most basic energy form for the cells; there are others.

Is protein animal cells or plant cells?
All cells have protein, though animal cells typically have more as a percentage of their mass.
Do colonoscopies take samples from the patient?
samples of tissue (biopsies) can be taken to detect the presence of cancerous cells. In addition, colonoscopy can also be used to remove foreign bodies, control hemorrhaging, and excise tumors.
Can you take blood samples by bone marrow if unable to get venous access?
Entry into the bone marrow will result in the uptake of marrow cells. It is far safer to obtain blood samples through standard methods
What is a transmission electron microscope image formed by?
electrons passing through ultra thin samples of cells or tissues
How are cervical tissue samples examined for cancer?
The tissue sample will then be examined under a microscope for the presence of cancerous cells.
How do the immune cells discover intracellular pathogens?
Immune cells can detect intracellular pathogens through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that recognize specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). When PRRs on immune cells bind to PAMPs, it triggers a signaling cascade that activates the immune response against the intracellular pathogen. This process helps immune cells detect and respond to the presence of intracellular pathogens.
