It depends on the type of cell, and the organism the cell is from. A mammal spends approximately 90%/20 hours of its time during cell division in interphase.

Do cancer cells have a long or short interphase?

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


What is the period of cell life when cell doesn't divide?

Interphase is:1. "The metabolic stage in the cell cycle during which the cell is not dividing."2. "The interval between two successive cell divisions, during which the chromosomes are not individually distinguishable. The long stage in the cell cycle between successive meioses."ok, im Alice. go on Ask.com, it is WAY better. or even Gogogle. Answer.com can be wrong. once i go a F on an assignment that i got my answers from here. good luck, goodbye, best wishesAlice


Can chromosomes be seen only during cell division?

No, chromosomes can also be seen in non-dividing cells during interphase under a microscope. In interphase, chromosomes are less condensed and appear as long, thin, thread-like structures within the nucleus. During cell division, chromosomes condense further to become more visible as distinct structures.


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).


Which cells in the body are thought to remain in the G0 phase during the cells' life cycle?

Cardiac muscle cells and neurons are believed to remain in the G0 phase long-term. These cells have limited capacity for cell division and usually remain in a differentiated state, performing their specialized functions without actively dividing.

About how long does a human skin cell stay in interphase in mitosis?

A human skin cell typically spends about 18-24 hours in interphase before entering mitosis. Interphase consists of three stages: G1, S, and G2, during which the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division.


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 it take for a human liver to go through cell cycle?

about 4 hours


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.


How long does it take a human cell to undergo cell division?

The time it takes for a human cell to complete cell division varies depending on the cell type. On average, a human cell can take around 18 to 24 hours to complete the cell division process. This includes the phases of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.


What does not occur during interphase excretion of wastes cell repair protein synthesis nuclear division?

Nuclear division does not occur during interphase. Interphase is a stage in the cell cycle where the cell grows, carries out its normal functions, and replicates its DNA in preparation for cell division. Nuclear division occurs during other stages of the cell cycle, such as mitosis or meiosis.

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.


How long can a human survive with a damaged liver?

That depends on the amount of damage. Complete liver failure will result in death within hours.

Cells nucleus during interphase?

DNA is always present in every stage of the cell cycle...reproducing it is the whole purpose of the cell cycle! In interphase, there are three phases: the cell grows (G1), duplicates each strand of DNA (S), and gets ready for mitosis (M). During the first part of interphase the chromosomes are long and thin, and single-stranded, making them very hard to see without a very powerful microscope. During the last 2 stages of interphase, the DNA is duplicated but is still long and thin. It is only in the prophase stage of mitosis that they are condensed enough to often be seen with a "normal" microscope on high power (400x) . By the end of mitosis, the doubled-chromosomes have been pulled apart and into opposite ends of the parent cell. When the cell has finished dividing, each "daughter cell" has the original number of single-stranded chromosomes. The chromosomes "uncoil", and the cell matures during G1 phase of interphase. Many people believe that DNA and/or Chromosomes (Chromosomes are made of DNA, remember.) are only present during mitosis. They just get fatter during mitosis by coiling tighter. Thus they are more easily seen. BUT.. just because you don't see them in interphase doesn't mean they aren't there!
