Question

question 9
in the eukaryotic cell cycle, the cell spends 90% of its time in
cytokinesis.
prophase.
mitosis.
interphase.

Explanation:

In the eukaryotic cell cycle, interphase is the longest - lasting phase. It is a period of cell growth, DNA replication, and preparation for cell division. Cytokinesis is the final step of cell division where the cytoplasm divides. Prophase is the first stage of mitosis. Mitosis (including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) is a relatively short process compared to interphase. Since the cell spends about 90% of its time in the phase where it is growing and preparing (not actively dividing), interphase is the correct answer.

Answer:

Interphase.
