A student examined two slides in the laboratory, one slide with normally dividing cells and another slide with cancerous cells. Which statement best predicts what the student will observe on the slide with cancer cells compared to the slide with normally dividing cells?
Answer A: The slide with cancer cells will show more cells in interphase because they are growing in preparation for cell division.
Answer B: The slide with cancer cells will show more cells in interphase because the stages of mitosis take longer to complete.
Answer C: The slide with cancer cells will show fewer cells in interphase because the cells are dividing rapidly.
Answer D: The slide with cancer cells will show fewer cells in interphase because the cells are not dividing.
