The correct answer is: < 5% of the total cell division duration
The cell cycle duration will vary in different types of cells. The G1 phase will continue for approximately 11 hours, S phase will continue for 8 hours, G2 phase for nearly 4 hours and the M phase for nearly one hour in a rapidly dividing human cell with cell cycle duration of 24 hours.
