Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Explanation: The G0 (G zero) phase is the phase where a cell takes a break from the cell cycle. Cells can enter and exit the cell cycle. When the cells are in ‘rest’ they are in what is called the G0 (G zero) phase .

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth).

Detailed explanation-5: -No, interphase is not part of mitosis, although both are part of the larger cell cycle. Interphase is the cell division phase that occurs before mitosis. During interphase, the cell gets itself ready for mitosis. The mitosis phase is marked by the division of the nucleus.
