When we look at the cell cycle, we see that the genome doubles (replicates itself) during the S phase. Since the M (mitosis) phase comes after the S and G2 phases, prophase of mitosis has the maximum number of chromosomes. Here, there are two copies of the genome.
When i looked into a microscope at a cell...i saw most were in pro phase.
METAPHASE...
Mitosis occurs in in the cell.
If you are referring to the stages of life cycle for cells it would be in Interphase which is the stage in which most cells spend the majority of their time.
no
interphase
Interphase is different from the division stages of meiosis and mitosis in that no division occurs at interphase. Activities that occur include increase in the size of the cell and DNA synthesis.
mitosis particularly prophase
Fist thing that happens is Interphase. This is what a cell spends most of its life in, but it is not part of Mitosis, it is before. Interphase is the duplicating of the cell's chromosomes( which hold the DNA). Next is Mitosis. I remember the four stages of Mitosis by PMAT. First stage of mitosis is Prophase, this is when the membrane surrounding the chromosomes is dissolved. Second stage is Metaphase, the chromosomes line up in the middle in pairs. Third stage is Anaphase, the chromosome pairs separate and go to opposite sides of the cell. Last stage of Mitosis is Telephase, the cell starts to split in half taking one of each chromosome. After Mitosis is Cytokinesis, this is when the membrane forms around the the chromosomes and the 1 parent cell is now 2 daughter cells.
mitosis
Longest stage of cell cycle would be the interphase
Cytokinesis is completed shortly after the chromatid separation. This process occurs during the anaphase stage of mitosis in a cell's life cycle.
Mitosis occurs in in the cell.
Mitosis
The M phase in cell cycle is the mitosis phase, where the cell performs mitosis.

there are two main stages in a cells life interphase and mitosis in interphase the cell grows and copies it's chromosomes and then in mitosis is when it starts to divide It takes place when the cell becomes to large to correct the surface area to volume ratio of the cell. More surface area means that it is easier to transport nutrients into the cell and wastes out of the cell.
M Phase
