Alterations in cell cycle regulatory proteins severely affect the behaviour of a normal cell in culture. Exposing the cell the mutagen, ethylnitrosourea, led to changes in cells behaviour in such a manner that the mutated cell started to divide after every one minute. At this rate it was consuming lots of cell culture vessels. Hence the cells were diluted to an extent so that the growing cells were filling up a petriplate corresponding to 100ml volume in an hour. How much time would you think would it take to fill a petriplate of 50 ml volume.
A:
19 minutes
B:
30 minutes
C:
59 minutes
D:
39 minutes
The answer is:
C
