interphase is when the cell grows and carries out its normal functions
Prophase DNA and proteins condense into tightly coiled chromosomes while the INuclear envelope breaks down and centrioles begin to move to opposite poles while spindle fibers form
Metaphase- spindle fibers attach to each chromosome they align the chromosomes along the middle of the cell (cell equator)
Anaphase- Chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell
Telophase- The nuclear membranes start to form the Chromosomes that were seperated start to uncoil and spindle fibers fall apart
Cytokinesis- is the last stage and divides the cytoplasm between the two daughter cells with a genetically identical nucleus and start to enter interphase to begin the process once again.
The shortest stage of the cell cycle is m-phase.
From stage of the cell cycle do cells somtimes exit?
The longest part of the cell cycle is typically the Interphase stage, which includes the G1, S, and G2 phases. This is where the cell grows, carries out normal metabolic activities, and replicates its DNA in preparation for cell division.
The stage that typically lasts the longest in the cell cycle is the interphase, specifically the G1 phase, where the cell prepares for DNA replication. Interphase makes up about 90% of the total cell cycle duration.
Cell Cycle
DNA is replicated in the Synthesis stage of the cell cycle.
Interphase is an in between growth of the cell cycle. A lot of events occur during this in between stage, including preparing for the next stage, which all-together makes up the cell cycle.

The shortest stage of the cell cycle is m-phase.
Stage 2 of the cell cycle is the S phase, where DNA is synthesized and replicated. This stage ensures that each daughter cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes.
