Best Answer

Interphase is the first and longest stage of the cell cycle.

MORE: Interphase is made up of three distince phases (G1, S and G2 phase).

The problem is that the cell cycle phases are actually all rather fluid; they overlap and can vary in length. In addition in some cases the cell does not need to undergo the full G1 or G2 phases such as in the early replication of zygotes.

The actual longest phase of the cell cycle is what is called "G0". This is the state the cell goes into where it is not preparing for the cell cycle. Most of your cells are in G0 right now.
