The mitotic cell cycle is divided typically into four phases: G ₁, ~S , G ₂ and M . Considering a mitotic cycle time of 18 hrs ; the distribution of period of time (in hrs) for each of these phases will be

Step-by-step solution

The longest phase of cell cycle is G ₁ where these rapid growth and metabolic activity, followed by S phase for DNA synthesis and replication then G ₂ phase for preparation of cell division and lastly mitotic phase. Ratio is 9: 5: 3: 1
