Question

Which of the following best describes the cell cycle?

Answer 1

The option which best describes the cell cycle is the first one - cells spend more time in prophase than any other phase, where DNA condenses to prepare for division.
Prophase is the first phase in the cell cycle, which prepares everything and ensures that the division goes smoothly.

Answer 2

Correct answer: B). Cells spend the most time in interphase, where they grow and their DNA replicates.

The cell spends its most of the time in the interphase, during this phase of growth, cell continues to grow and carry out its metabolic activities which are necessary for regular growth and maintenance.

During this phase of the cell cycle, a lot of protein is synthesized in order to double its size. The important changes that occur in this phase include DNA duplication and division of chloroplast and mitochondria.

Hence, the correct answer would be option B.
