The mitosis phase of the cell cycle takes approximately 2 hours to complete.
The entire cell cycle, which includes interphase and mitosis, takes about 24 hours. Here's a breakdown:
- Interphase: This phase takes about 18-20 hours.
- Mitosis: According to the provided reference, this phase takes about 2 hours. Mitosis represents only 5-10% of the total cell division cycle.
| Phase | Duration (approximate) |
|---|---|
| Interphase | 18-20 hours |
| Mitosis | 2 hours |
| Total Cycle | 24 hours |
