In normal mammalian cells, which take longer: the processes that lead to chromosome duplication or those that lead to cell division?

Cell Viability
Answer

The processes that lead to chromosome duplication take longer. The processes that lead to cell division happen during M phase, or mitosis. This phase lasts only 2 hours. The processes that lead to chromosome duplication occur during interphase which lasts about 18 hours.
