The diagram below represents the sizes of two different structures: a mitochondrion and a human cheek cell.

Mitochondrion and cheek cell sizes

  • Mitochondrion length: 2.5 μm2.5\text{ }\mu\text{m}2.5 μm
  • Cheek cell diameter: 0.06 mm
a.

Calculate the ratio of the size of the mitochondrion to the size of the cheek cell in the form 1:n1 : n1:n.

A cell cycle is represented by a pie chart divided into 25 equal sectors.

  • Stage 1 (Interphase) occupies 17 sectors.
  • Stage 2 (Mitosis) occupies 5 sectors.
  • Stage 3 (Cytokinesis) occupies 3 sectors.

Calculate the percentage of the total time of one cell cycle represented by Stage 2 and Stage 3 together.
