If you think Interphase is part of mitosis, this is certainly the longest phase. But if you are like me and know that Interphase is the time of a normal cell's normal life and it is producing cell products, moving cell parts, and generally doing cellular activities, then Prophase is our winner. read more

longest phase of mitosis Metaphase is the longest phase of mitosis; in which separation of chromosomes begin by high tension of spindle fibres. At the end of prophase, chromosomes become visible, duplicated centriole forms spindle outside the nucleus and nuclear membrane disappears. read more

The longest phase in the process of mitosis is called prophase. Even though prophase is the longest of all of the processes involved with mitosis, the cell remains in the interphase stage for a longer duration before the actual process of mitosis begins. read more
