To add a number of years, months and/or days, use the DATE function. Note: the DATE function accepts three arguments: year, month and day. Excel knows that 6 + 2 = 8 = August has 31 days and rolls over to the next month (23 August + 9 days = 1 September).
Letâs multiply the percentage of cells in each stage by one-thousand, four-hundred and forty minutes to calculate how long the cell spends in each stage. We find that in a 24-hour period, the cells we observed spend 1000.2 minutes in interphase, 180 minutes in prophase, 128.2 minutes in metaphase, 77.8 minutes in anaphase, and 51.8 minutes in telophase.
The interphase is the state in which the cell actually does most of its work. I collects food, or stands guard or holds a body together, or prepares necessary chemicals or the like.ells spend most of their time in interphase. Individual chromosomes cannot be distinguished in the nucleus of the cell, they are working harder to duplicate chromosomes befor â¦ e they undergo cell division and enter prophase. It is a longer process than the rest of the cycles. + 3 others found this useful.
