In which phase does the cell spend most of it’s life?
A
Interphase
B
Nuclear Division
C
Telophase
D
Mitosis
Explanation: 

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: -The Interphase of the eukaryotic cell cycle can be subdivided into the following phases (Figure 7.2. 2). Growth Phase 1 (G1): The cell spends most of its life in the first gap (sometimes referred to as growth) phase, G1. During this phase, a cell undergoes rapid growth and performs its routine functions.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Explanation: The interphase (inter= between) is the phase in the cell cycle which consists of three sub-stages, G 1, synthesis S and G 2. As you can see above, 90% of cell life time the cells are in interphase.
