When studying cell division in tissue samples, scientists often calculate a mitotic index, which is the ratio of dividing cells to the total number of cells in the sample. which type of tissue would have a higher mitotic index, normal tissue or cancerous t

Cancerous tissue has high mitotic index.

Explanation:

Mitotic index may be defined as the number of dividing cells divided by the total number of cells. Cell proliferation can be measured by mitotic index.

Cancerous cells are highly dividing cells and are less differentiated than normal cells. Cancer cells have higher mitotic index because the number of dividing cell is more in cancerous cell than the normal cells.

it would lead to upper respiratory infections and pneumonia.
