NEET BIOLOGY

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. Throughout interphase, nuclear DNA remains in a semi-condensed chromatin configuration.

Detailed explanation-3: -G1 is typically the longest phase of the cell cycle. This can be explained by the fact that G1 follows cell division in mitosis; G1 represents the first chance for new cells have to grow. Cells usually remain in G1 for about 10 hours of the 24 total hours of the cell cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase consists of further three different phases namely G1 (gap 1), S (synthesis), and G2 (gap 2) phases. Among these three phases, the G1 phase is of the longest duration.

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.
