Which one of the following phase of the cell cycle is also known as the ‘resting phase’ and for how much duration of the cell cycle does it last? A Mitosis; 5% of the cell cycle B Interphase; 5% of the cell cycle C Mitosis; more than 95% of the cell cycle D Interphase; more than 95% of the cell cycle
Correct option is D) The interphase is also called as the resting phase. 90% of cell cycle is formed by interphase. Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which the cell spends and performs the majority of its time. Then, in preparation for cellular division, it increases in size. Interphase is also considered to be the living phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients, grows, reads its DNA, and conducts other normal cell functions.
