Briefly describe the differences in the time spent in interphase and the four stages of mitosis, and list the mitosis stages from most to least time

Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle, encompassing growth and DNA replication, while the four stages of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) are much shorter. Typically, the order from most to least time spent is: Interphase > Prophase > Metaphase > Anaphase > Telophase.
