Answer

The longest phase of the cell cycle is Interphase

The shortest phase of the cell cycle is the Mitotic phase

Explanation

In case of cells with a nucleus, the stages of the cycle are divided into two phases: Interphase and the Mitotic (M) phase.

During Interphase the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA before moving into Mitosis.

During Mitotic phase the cell separates its DNA into two sets to create two genetically identical daughter cells.
