Based on the calculations in the table, I notice that interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle, typically taking up about 90% of the total time. Prophase, on the other hand, is much shorter in comparison, typically taking up only about 1% of the total time.

The main difference between interphase and prophase is that interphase is a stage of the cell cycle where the cell is preparing for division by growing and replicating its DNA, while prophase is the first stage of mitosis where the nuclear membrane breaks down, chromosomes condense, and the spindle fibers begin to form. This difference in function likely contributes to the difference in duration between the two stages.
