G1 is typically the longest phase of the cell cycle. This can be explained by the fact that G1 follows cell division in mitosis; G1 represents the first chance for new cells have to grow. Cells usually remain in G1 for about 10 hours of the 24 total hours of the cell cycle. The length of S phase varies according to the total DNA that the particular cell contains; the rate of synthesis of DNA is fairly constant between cells and species. Usually, cells will take between 5 and 6 hours to complete S phase. G2 is shorter, lasting only 3 to 4 hours in most cells. In sum, then, interphase generally takes between 18 and 20 hours. Mitosis, during which the cell makes preparations for and completes cell division only takes about 2 hours.

(G0), G1, S and G2 are interphase.

Interphase; this phase includes growth and development of the cell prior to cellular division.

Why does skin cells spend less time during interphase?

Skin cells actually spend most of their time in the interphase stage. This is because cells spend their time preparing for cell division in this stage.

Based on the data in the data table what can you infer about the relative length of time an onion root tip cell spends in each stage of cell division?

Here's an idea, the different stages of mitosis have different amounts of time they spend in each. By counting the total number of cells and categorizing which stage each is in, you can then divide the number of cells in each stage by the total number of cells to infer the length of time each stage takes. Most likely metaphase is longest if I remember correctly.

How would you determine how much time the cells spend in each cycle?

Well, during mitosis the cell spends most of its time in the interphase and then moves on to cell growth and eventually cell division.
