PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Most cells of adult mammals spend about 24 hours in interphase; this accounts for about 90%-96% of the total time involved in cell division. Interphase includes G1, S, and G2 phases. Mitosis and cytokinesis, however, are separate from interphase.

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.
