you try:
in what stage of the cell cycle do eukaryotic cells spend most of their life?
back to interphase

Explanation:

Mitosis is a cell - division process. In interphase, the cell grows and DNA replicates. In prophase, chromosomes condense, the nuclear membrane disappears, and the nucleolus disintegrates. In metaphase, spindle fibers attach to chromosomes which line up at the equator. In anaphase, chromosomes separate into two sets and are pulled to opposite sides. In telophase, new nuclear membranes form and chromosomes de - condense. In cytokinesis, the cytoplasm divides, creating two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes. Eukaryotic cells spend most of their life in interphase.

Answer:

Mitosis is a process of cell division in which a parent cell divides to form two identical daughter cells.
INTERPHASE: The cell grows and chromosomes (DNA) are replicated.
PROPHASE: Chromosomes are condensed. Nuclear membrane disappears. Nucleolus disintegrates.
METAPHASE: Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes. Chromosomes line up across the equator or middle of the cell.
ANAPHASE: Chromosomes separate into two sets. Each chromosome set or set is pulled away to opposite sides of the cell.
TELOPHASE: New nuclear membranes begin to form. Chromosomes begin to de - condense.
CYTOKINESIS: Cytoplasm divides. Two daughter cells with same number of chromosomes are formed.
