  • Correct answer
    A
    only about an hour
  • B
    about 12 hours
  • C
    only about 24 hours
  • D
    about 6 hours

Solution

In a human eukaryotic cell the whole cell cycle process takes place in about 24 hours. The interphase consumes around 23 hours of the total duration of the cycle. The whole cell division stage is quite fast and short lasting about one hour only.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
