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. Why do you think our results do not align with your textbook or other sources of information? Why does not anaphase come out as the shortest mitotic phase in our experiment?
