Want this question answered?
in mitosis (specifically Prophase) the chromosomes are dense and therefore visible for a karyotype. during interphase they do not have to be ready to be pulled apart so they are not wound tightly.
The phases of Mitosis are Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase (IPMAT). Cytokiensis is a separate thing altogether from Mitosis. So anything other than IPMAT is "not a phase in mitosis".
I believe this question is leaning towards the topic of Mitosis. Between each cycle of mitosis, the cells does all its cellular business during "Interphase" which is a way longer phase than Mitosis
Interphase is different from the division stages of meiosis and mitosis in that no division occurs at interphase. Activities that occur include increase in the size of the cell and DNA synthesis.
mitosis, the cells split, it's more complicated than that though, check an article on cells

Cytokinesis is simply the splitting of the cytoplasm into two new cell membranes. Mitosis is the complete splitting of the cells including interphase, DNA replication, and invloves much more processes.

The individual chromosomes cannot be seen in interphase because they haven't been condensed yet. That's what happens during mitosis so that it is easier to seperate them into new daughter cells. While in interphase, its called chromatin.

In the cell cycle of cancer cells interphase is still the longest phase. However, interphase is shorter in cancer cells than in normal cells.
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.
Mitosis in plants cells is faster than in human cell because more localisated. When a human cell do mitosis as a part of all of her life cycle, a meristematic plant cell do only mitosis, without interphasis. So it is faster for plants to do mitosis

Before Cell Division {this process is triggered by the size of the Cell} can occur three things must be in place. First and second the Cell's growth doubles both the volume of the Cytoplasm and the containment capacity of the Cytoplasmic membrane; and thirdly, the total genetic complement must be duplicated. Mitosis is the biochemical process that initiates, oversees, organizes and finalizes the creation [yes, creation beside regulation] of more often than not, just one pair of Daughter Cells.
No, interphase only occurs prior to the first prophase. The meiotic cells proceed from telophase I directly to prophase II
Organelle replication is part of the process during which cells prepare for mitosis, rather than part of mitosis itself. This happens during interphase, specifically in G1 and G2 (but not S, which is exclusively dedicated to DNA replication). However, organelle replication is not necessarily part of the cell cycle, nor does it follow a cyclic pattern either. Sometimes organelles won't replicate at all, and they will simply be redistributed into each of the new daughter cells. Organelle redistribution is, therefore, a mixture of simple redistribution of previously existing organelles, and a distribution of new organelles replicated during the cell's interphase.
