Interphase is the step in cell division when cells perform their major functions in the time frame it takes before it is tie for them to divide. The cells get larger and create duplicate copies of DNA in order to divide.

∙ 7y agoInterphase consists of G0, G1, S-phase, and G2. Interphase is essentially the point in the cell cycle in which the cell is preparing to enter M-Phase (mitosis and cytokinesis). G0 is the resting phase (which may just be combined with the G1 phase). G1 is where the cell grows and more organelles are made. S-phase is where DNA is replicated for later division (this occurs in the nucleus). G2 is additional growth before the cell goes onto M-phase. A diagram may help if you see it better. You can look up 'diagram of interphase' and any circular one should be fine.

∙ 11y agoInterphase is the largest, longest and most variable of the cell cycle phases. Each includes the phases G1, S and G2 in the following order:
The G1 phases mainly includes the growth of the cell. The cell is in its smallest size at the beginning of G1.
The S phase is where the cell mainly replicates its DNA and chromosomes. It is also known as the synthesis phase.
The G2 phase is where the cell grows and prepares itself for the M phase or mitosis. The DNA will start to condense from chromatin to form chromosomes, the number of organelles may increase and the formation of microtubules may begin.

∙ 8y agoInterphase is the stage of the cell cycle that is not part of mitosis. It is the stage in which the cell increases in size, new organelles are synthesised, ATP is synthesised and DNA replication takes place whereby each chromosome consists of two identical chromatids joined by the centromere.

Why does skin cells spend less time during interphase?
Skin cells actually spend most of their time in the interphase stage. This is because cells spend their time preparing for cell division in this stage.
Interphase used to be described as a 'resting stage' explain why this is inaccurate?
The reason is that during interphase nuclei are not resting! Nuclei are expressing their genes to make the proteins neede by the cell eg enzymes. Also, it is during interphase that the DNA is replicated before the next cell division. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interphase
What is mitois?
During the cell cycle, mitosis is the process by which a cell duplicates into two genetically identical daughter cells. During mitosis, chromosomes in the cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets
How many cell divisions are in meiosis?
There are two parts to meiosis; a meiosis I and a meiosis II. Meiosis I: Interphase Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I Cytokenisis I Meiosis II: *THERE IS NO INTERPHASE II!!* Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Cytokenisis II
Why are cyclins called cyclins?
Because their levels oscillate in a cyclic manner during the cell cycle.
What stage does longest part of the cell cycle?
Longest stage of cell cycle would be the interphase
What is the s-stage of the cell cycle?
It is stage of interphase. During this stage the DNA replicates.
What stage of the cell cycle is a cell's DNA copied?
The stage in the cell cycle where DNA is replicated is actually in interphase, before the nuclear membrane dissolves in prophase. * The DNA is replicated at mid-interphase (in the S phase), between the two growth phases (G1 and G2). So replication precedes division by several hours in a typical cell.
The typical growth period of a cell occurs during which stage of the cell cycle?
It is interphase. I remember the steps by remembering IPMAT
How do you us interphase in a sentence?
Interphase is the first stage of the cell cycle
First stage of the cell cycle?
Interphase
What stage does the cell spend most if its time in the cell cycle?
Interphase, which is the first stage in the cell cycle
Which stage in the cell cycle appears to be the stage that lasts the greatest length of time in the cell cycle?
Interphase
What is stage 2 of the cell cycle?
interphase, cell division
What stage of cell cycle does DNA duplication occurs?
DNA relpicates itself during interphase.
Which letter correctly identifies interphase?
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.
When during a cell cycle does Replication occur?
The stage of the cell cycle, replication occurs is meosis The stage of the cell cycle, replication occurs is meosis The stage of the cell cycle, replication occurs is meosis The stage of the cell cycle, replication occurs is meosisDNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase.
