Detailed explanation-1: -Most cells spend about 90% of their time in interphase. Note that mitosis and meiosis comprise only about 10% of the cell cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -In anaphase, the shortest stage of mitosis, the sister chromatids break apart, and the chromosomes begin moving to opposite ends of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -In which phase of mitosis did the plant cell spend least of it’s time? It spends the least amount of time in telephase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis accounts for about 10 percent of the cell cycle (may last only one to two hours) and is much shorter than the interphase. Mitotic errors can cause cell death through apoptosis or mutations that may induce cancer.
