During the cell cycle, the cell spends the most time in and the least amount of time in. * Prophae, Interphase Interphase, Anaphase Metaphase, Anaphase Telophase, Prophase

The cell spend most times in the interphase

The cell spend short time in the anaphase.

Explanation:

Interphase is the longest phase in cell cycle because it is a phase where series of cell of divisions take place

because there is need for the cell to grow, replicate or duplicate it's DNA and also make preparations for cell division.

Anaphase is the shortest phase because during anaphase, the sister chromatids become pulled apart to other opposite ends of the cell.
