Detailed explanation-1: -Prophase is the first and longest phase of mitosis.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prophase I is the longest phase of meiosis, usually taking up 90 percent of the time for the two divisions.
Detailed explanation-4: -The longest stage of meiosis is Prophase 1. During prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair and exchange DNA in a process called homologous recombination, which results in chromosomal crossover. It usually lasts upto 90% of the entire time of meiosis phase as genetic assortment takes place during this phase.
