Solution

The average cell cycle span for a mammalian cell is approximately 24 hours.
Cells usually remain in G1 phase for about 10 hours of the 24 total hours of the cell cycle. The length of S phase varies according to the total DNA that the particular cell contains; the rate of synthesis of DNA is fairly constant between cells and species.
