interphase

prophase

Explanation:
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: -During S phase the cell replicates its DNA so that each daughter cell can get the correct amount of DNA after mitosis. Next, is G2 phase where the cell makes proteins necessary for cell division and duplicates its organelles. These phases, collectively called interphase, take up most of the cell’s life.
Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis.
