Detailed explanation-1: -The interphase is also called as the resting phase. 90% of cell cycle is formed by interphase. Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which the cell spends and performs the majority of its time. Then, in preparation for cellular division, it increases in size.

Detailed explanation-2: -The interphase is further composed of G1, S, and G2 phases. In the interphase, a cell prepares itself for mitosis by growing in size metabolically active and doing its day to day functions, since this is not an actively dividing state it is also called the resting phase of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Previously interphase was called resting stage because there is no visible activity related to cell division in this stage.

Detailed explanation-4: -The period between two cell divisions is called ‘Interphase’. This is actually the period when the genetic material makes its copy so that it is equally distributed to the daughter cells during mitosis.
