Q. Which is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

AIIMSAIIMS 2014Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Solution:

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.
