According to your textbook and many other sources of information, the shortest phase of mitosis is anaphase. Prophase takes 30 to 60 minutes; metaphase, 2 to 10 minutes; anaphase 2 to 3 minutes; telophase 3 to 12 minutes.

In the mitosis lab that you have just completed, the shortest phase was telophase and/or metaphase. Please discuss these results.
