Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Eukaryotic cells spend most of their cell cycle in which phase?
A
interphase
B
prophase
C
metaphase
D
anaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -However, mitosis and cytokinesis last only about an hour, so approximately 95% of the cell cycle is spent in interphase-the period between mitoses. During interphase, the chromosomes are decondensed and distributed throughout the nucleus, so the nucleus appears morphologically uniform.

Detailed explanation-2: -The eukaryotic cell spends most of its “life “ in inter phase of the cell cycle, which can be subdivided into the three phases, G1, S and G2. During interphase, the cell does what it is supposed to do. Though cells have many common functions, such as DNA replication, they also have certain specific functions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth).

Detailed explanation-4: -A typical cell spends the majority of its time in interphase, which is the phase of the cell cycle. The metabolic or “everyday life” phase of the cell is known as the interphase, during which the cell develops, replicates its DNA in order to be ready for mitosis, and does other “typical” cell operations.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotic cells spend most of their time during Interphase, the first three stages of the process. During interphase a cell does what it is designed to do-live and grow.
