Cell Cycle And Cell Division

Question
CBSEENBI11003536

Which is the longest phase of the cell cycle

  • M-phase

  • interphase

  • Leptotene

  • S-phase

Solution

B.

interphase

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, S and G2. It occupies 75 to 95% of entire cell division time.
