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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Cells spend 95% of their cell division cycle in interphase (G1-, S-, and G2-phases) with average durations of 4 hr, 9 hr, and 5 hr to complete G1-, S-, and G2-phases, respectively. This results in cells spending only 5% of their cell-cycle time (less than 1 hr) in mitosis (Figures 1B–1D).

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
