Question
Cells spend about 90% of life cycle at: a. interphase b. prophase c. anaphase d. mitosis
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The vast majority of a cell's life is spent in interphase, carrying out its normal functions and preparing for division. Mitosis (including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) is a relatively short process, typically occupying only about 10% of the cell cycle.
Hint
The cell spends most of its time doing its job, not dividing.
