CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cells spend most of their life in which stage of the cell cycle?
A
mitosis
B
meoisis
C
interphase
D
anaphase
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: -During interphase, the cell undergoes normal growth processes while also preparing for cell division. It is the longest phase of the cell cycle, cell spends approximately 90% of its time in this phase. In order for a cell to move from interphase into the mitotic phase, many internal and external conditions must be met.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
