Interphase
|
|
|
Prophase
|
|
|
Telophase
|
|
|
Cytokinesis

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, Interphase is the longest phase of cell division. In a 24-hour cell cycle, 23 hours are for the Interphase-phase and 1 hour for the Mitosis phase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes will align, separate, and move into new daughter cells. The prefix inter-means between, so interphase takes place between one mitotic (M) phase and the next.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, the interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle.
