Question

Which of the following answers could be true about human cells regarding the LENGTH of the cell cycle?

A. A human cell spends the majority of its time in the mitosis phase

B. A human cell spends more than 75% of their time in interphase

C. A human cell spends approximately 50% of their time in interphase

D. A cell spends approximately 75% of their time in mitosis and cytokinesis

Answer 1

Answer: B. A human cell spends more than 75% of their time in interphase

Step-by-step explanation:

From the pie chart shown the human cell spends roughly 75% of its time in the interphase which includes the Cell growth, DNA replication and the Preparation for Mitosis stages.

This makes sense because during Mitosis, the cell splits to form another cell. It is therefore important that it build itself up during the interphase to prepare for the split so that more cells with appropriate efficiency can be created to relieve the old and dying ones.
