alleryA typical human cell completes one full cycle in roughly
A90 minutes, like yeast
B1 minute
C24 hours, with interphase taking ~23
D7 days, with M phase taking 6
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 24 hours, with interphase taking ~23
Human cells take ~24 hours, with interphase ~23 hours and M phase ~1 hour.
Yeast manages 90 minutes; early embryos can be even faster.
M phase is brief no matter the organism.
