how long does a cell stay interphase?
Letâs multiply the percentage of cells in each stage by one-thousand, four-hundred and forty minutes to calculate how long the cell spends in each stage. We find that in a 24-hour period, the cells we observed spend 1000.2 minutes in interphase, 180 minutes in prophase, 128.2 minutes in metaphase, 77.8 minutes in anaphase, and 51.8 minutes in telophase.
