A population of T cells was stimulated to proliferate in response to a particular antigen.A sample of 1000 stimulated cells was analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)for total DNA content.Of the 1000 cells,400 had a 2n amount of DNA,200 had a 4n amount of DNA,and the remaining 400 cells had between a 2n and 4n amount of DNA.Additional immunofluorescence analysis revealed that 200 of the cells were in various stages of M phase and that M phase lasted 2 hours.What is the total length of the cell cycle?
A)8 hours
B)12 hours
C)18 hours
D)20 hours
E)24 hours
