Option D.
The time required then for the complete process of mitotic cell division would lie within the following limits: Prophase, 30 to 60 minutes; metaphase, 2 to 10 minutes; anaphase 2 to 3 minutes; telophase 3 to 12 minutes and the reconstruction period from 30 t'o 120 minutes: total 70 to 180 minutes.
Meiotic prophase I takes more time than other processes of mitosis or meiosis.
Meiosis is a type of reductional division as the chromosome number reduces to half in this type of division. It results in the formation of haploid cells. The process of meiosis takes place in germ cells and gives rise to gametes for sexual reproduction. Each process of meiosis produces four haploid cells.
Meiosis is categorized as meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I gives rise to haploid cells. The prophase I of meiosis I have 5 further stages. These are leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene and diakinesis.
Meiosis II is comparatively simple and is very much like Mitotic division, except the cells undergoing division are the haploid cells produced by meiosis I. Hence, Meiotic prophase II also takes less time than Meiotic prophase I.
Therefore, the process that takes the most amount of time is the Meiotic prophase I.
