Which is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

Which is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

Options

  1. AM-phase
  2. BM-phase
  3. CLeptotene
  4. DS-phase

Correct answer

B. M-phase

Step-by-step solution

Cell cycle is divided into 2 phases. (i) Interphase (a period of preparation for cell division), (ii) M phase (the actual period of cell division). The interphase cell is metabolically quite active. Interphase is the long nondividing phase further divided into G1,SG_1, S and G2\mathrm{G}_2. It occupies 75 to 95%95 \% of entire cell division time.
