Question
what factors could affect the amount of time spent in each phase of mitosis? I thought maybe it had something to do with the amount of genetic material needed to be replicated, but now I'm not sure.

The amount of genetic material certainly has a lot to do with it. So does the presence or absence of a nucleus.
