What is the longest stage of the cell cycle called?

Back

Interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle, where the cell grows and prepares for division.

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.
