In the cell cycle of cancer cells interphase is still the longest phase. However, interphase is shorter in cancer cells than in normal cells.

Why do cells spend the most time in interphase?
Not all cells divide at the same rate, but that difference is only in the length of the interphase which can vary by up to years for some tissues. It is just that prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase are much less variable as the process has to complete (not stable stuck in the middle of dividing, see Larson).
How is the amount of DNA in the beginning of Mitosis different from the amount at the end?
The DNA doubles. heehee, long question, short answer. hope I helped. :3
Why are cancer cells immortal but most body cells have a limited life span?
they are immortal as long as they have cells to attach to. They are a mutation and don't get a signal to die so they will keep multiplying until they are nothing left. Cancer is a genetic mutation
How is uncontrolled cell division is dangerous in organisms?
The downside of cell division is that oncogene* may develop and lead to cancer. In the long term this is unavoidable.Cell division, also results in the cells having shorter chromosomes. Over a lifetime this results in aging* www.dictionary.com definition: A gene that causes the transformation of normal cells into cancerous tumour cells, especially a viral gene that transforms a host cell into a tumour cell.
In interphase the DNA in the form of loose threads called?
During interphase, the DNA of a cell uncoils from its highly condensed chromatid form to become chromatin, long, thread-like structures.
Which type of cell on average has a shorter interphase a skin cell or nerve cell?
Skin cells, epithelial cells need to be renewed rather quickly in the skin, so they get into Mitosis phase in a short time; neurons generally do not reproduce, so they stay in interphase stage for a long time.
About how long does a human skin cell stay in interphase in mitosis?
The duration of mitosis of normal epidermis is approximately 90 min.
What stage does the cell spend most if its time in the cell cycle?
Interphase, which is the first stage in the cell cycle
How long does Interphase last?
The majority of the cell cycle is spent in interphase. There are three stage of interphase that end when a checkpoint is achieved, in totality 90 percent of the time or 20 hours of interphase.
Did they have cancer in the 1930s?
Yes. They didn't have the same diagnosis tools and treatments but cancer has been around for as long as there have been cells.
Do ants get cancer?
I think they get cancer from pesticides.Maybe because they do have cells but most of them don't live that long anyway unless its the queen.
Genetic material found in the nucleus during interphase?
chromatin
Is skin cancer symptoms long term or short term?
They are middle term.
When do cells divide the fastest?
The majority of growth occurs during sleep.
Does cancer cells mean you have cancer?
Technically, yes, if you have cancerous cells in your body, you do have some cancer. However, if it is only a few cancerous cells, and they haven't targeted any organs yet, they are generally easy to remove. Basically, cancer cells are mutated cells that start somewhere, and multiply at a faster rate than normal cells, and will form a tumor These cells will eventually go into the blood stream, and target an organ such as the liver, where they will begin multiplying into another tumor, and so on. So, as long as these cancer cells have not yet reached the blood stream, simply removing the tumor will get rid of the cancerous cells, as the cells are only, presently, skin deep.
What are the long term and short term effects of nuclear energy?
long term it may elevate long term cancer risks
Th long and short thread-like fibers that differentiate nerve cells from other cells are called?
neurons
