About 90% of mitosis is spent in prophase, however, mitosis is only 8% of the total cell life. Thus, a cell spends about 7% of it's life in prophase. The cell spends most of it's life in Interphase. Interphase is 90% of the cell's TOTAL life span.

To answer your question, the cell spends about 7% of it's life in prophase.

Approximately 10-15% of a cell's life is spent in prophase, which is the first stage of mitosis when chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down. The duration of prophase can vary depending on the cell type and conditions.
