Which phase occupies the maximum part of cell cycle?

Which phase occupies the maximum part of cell cycle?

Options

  1. AMitotic phase
  2. BMeiotic phase
  3. CInterphase
  4. DCytokinesis

Correct answer

C. Interphase

Step-by-step solution

The sequence of events by which a cell duplicates its genome, synthesises the other constituents of the cell and eventually divides into two daughter cells is termed cell cycle.

A typical cell cycle comprises two major phases:

  1. Interphase, which is the largest phase of the cell cycle (nearly 95%) and is the most active phase, biochemically, and physiologically.
  2. Division phase, in which the cell actually divides to form the daughter cells.
