At one time interphase was referred to as the resting phase of the cell cycle why do you think the description is no longer used?

During interphase there is much metabolic activity.
Some examples of processes that take place in interphase are: transcription and translation; DNA replication (which occurs at mid-interphase); glycolysis in the cytoplasm; aerobic respiratory reactions in mitochondria; both light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in chloroplasts; digestion in lysosomes; lipid synthesis in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum; protein processing and modification in the Golgi body.
So it's not too restful between divisions!

What lasts longer the mitotic phase or interphase?
interphase...tz take around 16.to 18 hours..mitotic phase take around 2 hours...
What happens after cytokinesis is complete?
In the cell cycle, G1 (growth and normal function; part of interphase) ensues directly after cytokinesis.
Do cells spend more time in mitosis or inter-phase?
Cells spend most of their time in interphase. Individual chromosomes cannot be distinguished in the nucleus of the cell, they are working harder to duplicate chromosomes before they undergo cell division and enter prophase. It is a longer process than the rest of the cycles.
Why do cells spend the most time in interphase?
Not all cells divide at the same rate, but that difference is only in the length of the interphase which can vary by up to years for some tissues. It is just that prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase are much less variable as the process has to complete (not stable stuck in the middle of dividing, see Larson).
During which three phases are individual chromosomes no longer visible?
G1, S, and G2
What lasts longer the mitotic phase or interphase?
interphase...tz take around 16.to 18 hours..mitotic phase take around 2 hours...

What phase are most cells in when they stop dividing?
In between divisions cells enter interphase. During interphase the cell is growing in preparation for the next division. Cells that are no longer dividing are considered to be in senescence. Senescent cells are not growing or replicating their DNA.
