M-phase in humans lasts
Options
- A90% of the total cell division duration
- B60% of the total cell division duration
- C96% of the total cell division duration
- D< 5% of the total cell division duration
Correct answer
D. < 5% of the total cell division duration
Step-by-step solution
The cell cycle duration will vary in different types of cells. The G1 phase will continue for approximately 11 hours, S phase will continue for 8 hours, G2 phase for nearly 4 hours and the M phase for nearly one hour in a rapidly dividing human cell with cell cycle duration of 24 hours.
