The cell stays in the interphase stage the longest. The interphase stage includes the G1 phase which is the initial growth of the cell. Next is the S phase and in simple terms it’s just the replication of the DNA. Next is the G2 phase which is the continued phase of cell growth. After interphase is completed, the cell enters prophase, then metaphase, then anaphase, then telophase, and finally cytokinesis.
