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. The interphase portion of the cell cycle is relatively long compared to mitosis. Interphase consists of three stages: first gap (G1), synthesis (S) and second gap (G2). The cell replicates DNA only in the S phase. Before the cell can transition from G1 to S, it must clear the G1 checkpoint.
