Question

1. mitosis is just one small part of the cell cycle! describe what would occur if cells were in mitosis more than they were in interphase.

cell cycle
mitosis, 10%
interphase, 90%

Explanation:

Interphase is when cells grow, replicate DNA, and prepare for division (90% of cell cycle). Mitosis is cell division (10%). More mitosis than interphase leaves insufficient time for growth, DNA replication, and preparation. This causes small, non-functional cells, incomplete DNA (genetic errors), or abnormal growth (e.g., tumors).

Answer:

Cells would not have enough time to grow, replicate DNA properly, or prepare for division. This could result in small, non-functional cells, genetic errors due to incomplete DNA replication, or abnormal cell growth such as tumors.
