Please help me urgent The cell cycle and mitosis make new cells that are identical to the parent cell. Cancer cells undergo an abnormally fast rate of mitosis. I would expect to find a higher percentage of cancer cells in prophase, metaphase, anaphase or telophase with a lower percentage in interphase. Why?

Growth - multicellular organisms can grow in two ways, increasing the size of their cells, or increasing the number of cells - achieved through mitosis.

Repair - when cells are damaged, they need to be replaced with identical cells capable of doing exactly the same job.

Replacement - no cell lasts forever. Even the most long lived of cells will need to be replaced at some point. Red blood cells only last three months, skin cells even less. Identical cells are needed to carry on the functions of the cells they are replacing.
