Which phase of the Cell Cycle lasts the longest?
A
Interphase G1
B
Interphase S
C
Interphase G2
D
Mitosis
E
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The G1 phase is the longest in the cell cycle. It’s the beginning of the interphase. The cell prepares for division during the G1 phase. During the G1 phase, cells are extremely metabolically active.

Detailed explanation-2: -The synthesis phase of interphase takes the longest because of the complexity of the genetic material being duplicated.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis. It is the longest stage of cell cycle.

Detailed explanation-5: -The interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle because it is the stage during which all the preparation for cell division takes place.
