Choice A: Interphase is longer than the mitotic phase.
This statement is true. Interphase is a significant period in the cell cycle and is longer than the mitotic phase. Interphase can be further divided into three stages: G1 (Gap 1), S (Synthesis), and G2 (Gap 2). During interphase, the cell grows, carries out its normal functions, and replicates its DNA in preparation for cell division. The mitotic phase, on the other hand, consists of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) and cytokinesis, which are relatively shorter processes compared to interphase.
