Question

1. if you were to examine a sample of 1000 cells, in which of the phases listed below would you expect to find most of the cells? interphase metaphase anaphase telophase

Explanation:

In the cell cycle, interphase is the longest phase as cells spend most of their time here (performing functions like growth, DNA replication, etc.) before mitosis. Metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are shorter mitotic phases. So in a sample of 1000 cells, most would be in interphase.

Answer:

Interphase (the option corresponding to "Interphase" among the choices)
