Which phase occupies the maximum part of cell cycle?
- Mitotic phase
- Meiotic phase
- Interphase
- Cytokinesis
Solution
The sequence of events by which a cell duplicates its genome, synthesises the other constituents of the cell and eventually divides into two daughter cells is termed cell cycle.
A typical cell cycle comprises two major phases:
- Interphase, which is the largest phase of the cell cycle (nearly 95%) and is the most active phase, biochemically, and physiologically.
- Division phase, in which the cell actually divides to form the daughter cells.
