Answer
More than 95%
Explanation: The cell cycle consists of:
|
Phase |
Duration (%) |
Key Events |
|
Interphase (G₁, S, G₂) |
>95% |
DNA replication, growth, protein synthesis |
|
M phase (Mitosis + Cytokinesis) |
<5% |
Nuclear and cytoplasmic division |
Interphase is the longest phase because it involves extensive biosynthetic activities required for cell division.
