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.
It may be difficult to find interphase cells in the whitefish blastula slide because cells are constantly dividing during early stages of development, leading to a higher proportion of cells in mitosis rather than in interphase. Additionally, interphase can appear very similar to certain stages of mitosis, making it challenging to distinguish between the two.
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).
Near the end of interphase, the chromosomes double. Now the process of mitosis can begin. The phases, in order, that follow are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm divides and the resulting daughter cells each return to interphase where they spend most of their existence carrying out life processes. At some later point, the cell membrane is unable to handle the flow of materials into and out of the cell. The chromosomes double and mitosis occurs again.
Follicle cells undergo mitosis more frequently than nerve cells.
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.
Interphase (78% of the time is spent in this process)
A human skin cell typically spends about 18-24 hours in interphase before entering mitosis. Interphase consists of three stages: G1, S, and G2, during which the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division.

First, you need to know that interphase is when the cell isn't dividing. It's just sitting there replicating DNA, making more organelles, and developing so it can go through mitosis later. Interphase isn't part of mitosis because the cell isn't in the process of dividing. It has nothing to do with mitosis, where the nucleus divides.
The reason why cancer cells reproduce more rapidly other then regular cells is because they spend less time in interphase.
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.
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.

During mitosis, cells are typically smaller in size compared to interphase due to the condensation of genetic material into distinct chromosomes. As the chromosomes become more compact, the cell size decreases to facilitate the orderly segregation of genetic material into the daughter cells.
