Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which step of the cell cycle do cells spend a majority of their time?
A
Prophase
B
Interphase
C
Mitosis
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In G1, cells accomplish most of their growth; they get bigger in size and make proteins and organelles needed for normal functions of DNA synthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -During this phase, cells produce proteins and expand to roughly double their original size. To summarise, during this phase, the cell grows, develops, prepares for cell division, replicates its chromosomes, and so on, and a cell spends the majority of its time in this stage.
