Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The phase that makes up about 90% of the cell cycle is interphase. Although our cells must divide to replace themselves and facilitate growth and repair in the body, most of a cell’s life is not spent dividing. This time is called interphase. Interphase consists of three phases, G1, S and G2.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prophase I can occupy 90% or more of the time taken by meiosis. Although it is traditionally called prophase, it actually resembles the G2 phase of a mitotic cell division. The nuclear envelope remains intact and disappears only when the meiotic spindle begins to form, as prophase I gives way to metaphase I.

Detailed explanation-4: -In fact, interphase takes up about 90% of a cell’s life. That leaves just 10% for mitosis!

Interphase has three stages: G1, S and G2.

Detailed explanation-5: -During interphase, the cell prepares itself for division and hence it lasts for more than 95 % of total duration.
