Detailed explanation-1: -A cell cycle is a series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides. 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: -The interphase is the period when the cell is in a non-dividing state and this can be in different stages: the first gap (G1) between the last mitosis and the S phase (phase of DNA synthesis) and the second gap (G2) between the completion of the S phase and the next mitosis (M).

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is the ‘daily living’ or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, reads its DNA, and conducts other “normal” cell functions. The majority of eukaryotic cells spend most of their time in interphase. This phase was formerly called the resting phase.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Interphase refers to the phase of the cell cycle in which a cell copies its DNA to prepare for mitosis. This phase is also referred to as the ‘daily living’ or the metabolic phase of the cell. Furthermore, in this stage, a cell gets nutrients and then metabolizes these nutrients.
