Most of the life of any eukaryotic cell-(a cell with a nucleus) is spent in a period of growth and development called interphase. Most of the life of any eukaryotic cell-(a cell with a nucleus) is spent in a period of growth and development called interphase. It's the first step in Mitosis and during the interphase, the cell's chromosomes duplicate. The nucleolus is clearly visible in the nucleus

During interphase, cells are busy with life processes. The chormosomes are not visible. They are known as "chromatin" as of now. The DNA duplicates in this phase. Near the end of interphase, the cell make final prep for mitosis by producing the necessary organelles for each daughter cell.

Interphase is an in between growth of the cell cycle. A lot of events occur during this in between stage, including preparing for the next stage, which all-together makes up the cell cycle.
