Suppose cell type a spends 60% of the time in interphase. cell type b spends 70% of the time in interphase. cell type c spends 35% of the time in mitosis. cell type d spends 25% of the time in mitosis. which cell type spends the least amount of time in mitosis?

"The cell type D"

Explanation:

Cell cycle consists of interphase and M phase (mitosis). Given that cell type A= 60% interphase, this means that the cell type A spends rest 100-60= 40% of the time in mitosis.

Likewise, Cell type B= 70% interphase and rest 100-70= 30% mitosis.

Cell type C spends = 35% in mitosis. And cell type D spends 25% time in mitosis.

Hence the cell type D spends minimum time in mitosis (25%).

Cell type D spends the least amount of time in mitosis.

Further Explanation:

The cell cycle refers to an ordered flow of events which includes cell growth as well as cellular division. This cycle produces 2 new daughter cells. The cycle starts with interphase in this the cell mature and replicates its own DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid. The interphase begins with:

The second stage of a cell cycle is the mitosis or M phase. Mitotic phase refers to a multiphase process in this the chromosomes are aligned, segregated, and moved into the two new daughter cells which are identical to each other.

The amount of time that is spent by a cell in interphase and corresponding M-phase are provided in the table below. So, the type-d cell spent least amount of time in M-phase.
