What percent of the cell cycle does mitosis make up?
Mitosis typically makes up about 10% of the entire cell cycle. The cell cycle consists of interphase (which includes G1, S, and G2 phases) and the mitotic phase. Since interphase is much longer than mitosis, the majority of the cell cycle is spent in interphase.
How many minutes does inter-phase take in mitosis?
Interphase is not a part of mitosis; rather, it is the phase of the cell cycle that occurs before mitosis. It typically lasts much longer than mitosis itself, often taking several hours to days depending on the cell type. Mitosis, which includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, usually takes about 30 minutes to a few hours in total. Interphase consists of three stages: G1, S, and G2, during which the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for division.
What is the time taken to complete mitosis?
It varies, cell to cell, species to species, age to age. In round numbers, the doubling time for a bacterium like E. coli is a half hour, whereas the doubling time for a eukaryotic cell is probably more on the order of several hours. However, you really can't generalize too much here because cells tend to undergo more mitosis during development than they do in adults and some species undergo far more rapid mitosis than others. For example, mouse embryonic stem cells divide much faster than human embryonic stem cells.
Do Interphase last longer than other phases of a cell's cycle?
Yes, interphase typically lasts longer than the other phases of the cell cycle. It comprises the G1, S, and G2 phases, during which the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis. In contrast, the actual mitotic phase (M phase), which includes mitosis and cytokinesis, is much shorter. Overall, interphase can take up the majority of the cell cycle duration.
What happens to the cell during the mitosis phase?
Protein spindles form on the centrioles which move to opposite poles in the Cell. These spindles attach themselves to one side on the chromosome with extreme precision and the spindles on the opposite centriole, attaches itself to the other half. The chromosomes are brought to the centre of the Cell. Hence, the chromosomes are split into two.

How do the daughter cells produced by mitosis compare to the original cell?
Pretty much the same save possible replication errors and uneven distribution of organelles.
What is the difference betwen cytokinesis and mitosis?
Mitosis is the process of genetic duplication while cytoplasmic division is the separating of one parent cell into two daughter cells. While the two often go hand-in-hand, mitosis precedes cytoplasmic division.

Are skin cells produced by mitosis?
Yes. All of your body's cells are produced by mitosis (skin, nerve cells, cells of your organs, etc.). The only exception is that your gametes (egg or sperm) cells are produced by meiosis. Every cell in your body except for your egg or sperm (whatever you have) have been produced by mitosis.
If a cell has four chromosomes before mitosis how many chromosomes will the cell have after mitosis?
Well, the original parent has 8 chromosomes, and the result of mitosis is 2 diploid daughter cells, so both daughter cells will end up wit the same number of chromosomes as the mother-8. ok woow to much writing in more simple terms that would mean 16 cells during- 8 cells after
Why is DNA replication required prior to mitosis?
DNA replication is necessary prior to mitosis to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information. During DNA replication, the genetic material is duplicated so that after cell division, each daughter cell will have the same genetic information as the parent cell. This is critical to maintaining genetic integrity and allowing for proper cell function and growth.
Where does mitosis take place in the human cell?
Most of the activity occurs in the middle of the cell itself.
Why is cytokinesis less complex than mitosis?
Cytokinesis is simply the splitting of the cytoplasm into two new cell membranes. Mitosis is the complete splitting of the cells including interphase, DNA replication, and invloves much more processes.
Why is mitosis a form of asexual?
Because the nucleus of a single cell-celled organism is splitting in two. Very much like asexual processes.
What do you end up with at the end of mitosis?
When mitosis is completed successfully you get two daughter cells with identical copies of DNA, which are also exact replicas of the mother cell. Mitosis is simply copying and duplicating, while meiosis is a much more complicated process involving mixing of genes along with division.
What is the time taken to complete mitosis?
