Detailed explanation-1: -During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA. During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell separates its DNA into two sets and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -During interphase, the cell grows, performs routine life processes, and prepares to divide. These phases are discussed below.
Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: The S phase (or synthesis phase) is a period of the cell cycle during which DNA is replicated (or synthesized). G1 and G2 are both growth phases, during which cellular organelles are replicated and the cell grows in size. The M phase refers to mitosis, or cell division.
Detailed explanation-5: -Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis.
