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 this phase, cells produce proteins and expand to roughly double their original size. To summarise, during this phase, the cell grows, develops, prepares for cell division, replicates its chromosomes, and so on, and a cell spends the majority of its time in this stage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis.
