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: -A typical cell spends the majority of its time in interphase, which is the phase of the cell cycle. The metabolic or “everyday life” phase of the cell is known as the interphase, during which the cell develops, replicates its DNA in order to be ready for mitosis, and does other “typical” cell operations.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. Interphase is the ‘daily living’ or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, replicates its DNA in preparation for mitosis, and conducts other “normal” cell functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -During interphase, the cell undergoes normal growth processes while also preparing for cell division. It is the longest phase of the cell cycle, cell spends approximately 90% of its time in this phase. In order for a cell to move from interphase into the mitotic phase, many internal and external conditions must be met.
