Jutta Ellermann is a MSK fellowship trained Board Certified Radiologist with 10 years of clinical practice at the University of Minnesota with a special focus on MSK imaging research. Her areas of research interest include:
â in cells capable of dividing, the period between cell divisions is called interphase â cells spend most of their time in interphase because this is the phase where they perform their functions (obtaining energy, synthesizing products, repair damage, fight disease, duplicate their genetic material and get ready for division)
G1: Cells can exit the cell cycle and enter G0 or be committed to initiate DNA synthesis late in G1. T/F : The longest stage of interphase is G2. False: The longest stage of interphase is S; cells typically spend about 7 hours in this stage. The shortest stage of interphase is G2 (3 hours), although the shortest stage of the entire cell cycle is mitosis (1 hour).
