Figure 1 shows the change in the distance between separating sister chromatids during mitosis in a eukaryotic cell.
During Phase D (between t=400 st = 400\text{ s}t=400 s and t=1300 st = 1300\text{ s}t=1300 s), the distance increases from 3.1 μm3.1\ \mu\text{m}3.1 μm to 26.3 μm26.3\ \mu\text{m}26.3 μm.
Calculate the rate of separation of the sister chromatids during Phase D.
Give your answer in μm⋅minute−1\mu\text{m}\cdot\text{minute}^{-1}μm⋅minute−1 and to 3 decimal places.
Practise AQA A Level Biology All cells arise from other cells with exam-style questions for A Level Biology. 12 questions covering All cells arise from other cells, matched to the AQA A Level Biology (7402) specification and written in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
