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 the phase of the cell cycle in which the cell spends the. majority of its time and performs the majority of its purposes including. preparation for cell division. In preparation for cell division, it increases its. size and makes a copy of its DNA. Interphase is also considered to be the. 'living' phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients, grows, reads its. DNA, and conducts other normal cell functions.
