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.
Interphase is not a part of mitosis - it is a part of the cell cycle. Interphase and mitosis are separate events, but mitosis depends on interphase. In the three stages of Interphase (G1, S, G2) the cell is enlarging and synthesising both the DNA within the nucleus as well as organelles.
