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.
In this case, they may spend the vast majority of their lifespan in interphase. Other rapidly dividing cells (skin cells, hair cells, etc.) have a much shorter interphase. I haven't studied the plant cell cycle in depth, but I know that they do spend a little more than 90% of their time in interphase.Source(s): Molecular Biology of the Cell 4th ed. by Alberts et al.ther rapidly dividing cells (skin cells, hair cells, etc.) have a much shorter interphase.
