Detailed explanation-1: -A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.

Detailed explanation-2: -During interphase, the chromosomes are decondensed and distributed throughout the nucleus, so the nucleus appears morphologically uniform. At the molecular level, however, interphase is the time during which both cell growth and DNA replication occur in an orderly manner in preparation for cell division.

Detailed explanation-3: -The S Phase of Interphase The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes will align, separate, and move into new daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -DNA replication occurs during the synthetic phase of the Interphase. During the S phase, the DNA replicates, and the histone protein synthesis occurs. The centrioles also get duplicated. a) During prophase, nuclear membrane and nucleolus disappear.
