The cell spends most of it’s life in ____
|
|
mitosis
|
|
|
cytokinesis
|
|
|
Interphase
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are three stages of interphase: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis of new DNA ), and G2 (second gap). Cells spend most of their lives in interphase, specifically in the S phase where genetic material must be copied. The cell grows and carries out biochemical functions, such as protein synthesis, in the G1 phase.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, mitosis and cytokinesis last only about an hour, so approximately 95% of the cell cycle is spent in interphase-the period between mitoses.
