NEETBotanyCell Cycle and Cell Division
How often do human cells in culture typically divide?
Options
- AOnce every 90 minutes
- BOnce every 24 hours
- COnce every hour
- DOnce every day
Correct answer
B. Once every 24 hours
Step-by-step solution
A typical eukaryotic cell cycle is illustrated by human cells in culture. These cells divide once in approximately every 24 hours. However, this duration of cell cycle can vary from organism to organism and also from cell type to cell type. . Yeast for example, can progress through the cell cycle in only about 90 minutes. The cell cycle is divided into two basic phases: Interphase, M Phase (Mitosis phase)
