NEET2016BotanyCell Cycle and Cell DivisionActual
Which phase occupies the maximum part of cell cycle?
Options
- AMitotic phase
- BMeiotic phase
- CInterphase
- 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: Interphase, which is the largest phase of the cell cycle (nearly 95%) and is the most active phase, biochemically, and physiologically. Division phase, in which the cell actually divides to form the daughter cells.
