Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -The cell cycle can roughly be separated into 2 parts: interphase and mitosis. The mitotic phase is the shortest part of the cell cycle. The rest of the cell cycle, interphase, accounts for about 90% of the cell cycle. Both interphase and mitosis can be broken down into more discrete phases.
