Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the purpose of interphase?
A
growth and metabolism
B
nucleic division
C
cytoplasmic division
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -Growth Phase 1 (G1): during this phase, the cell grows rapidly, while performing routine metabolic processes. It also makes proteins needed for DNA replication and copies some of its organelles in preparation for cell division. A cell typically spends most of its life in this phase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The metabolic or growth phase of a cell’s life cycle is called interphase. Metabolic processes in the body that are related to growth of the cell and its life cycle all occurs during the interphase.

Detailed explanation-5: -The purpose of interphase in the cell cycle is to give the cell time to grow, do its job in the body, replicate DNA and prepare for mitosis.
