Interphase is not a part of mitosis; rather, it is the phase of the cell cycle that occurs before mitosis. It typically lasts much longer than mitosis itself, often taking several hours to days depending on the cell type. Mitosis, which includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, usually takes about 30 minutes to a few hours in total. Interphase consists of three stages: G1, S, and G2, during which the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for division.
Yes, interphase typically lasts longer than the other phases of the cell cycle. It comprises the G1, S, and G2 phases, during which the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis. In contrast, the actual mitotic phase (M phase), which includes mitosis and cytokinesis, is much shorter. Overall, interphase can take up the majority of the cell cycle duration.
Mitosis is generally considered a relatively quick process, typically taking about one hour to complete for most human cells. However, the duration can vary depending on the cell type and the organism. While the actual stages of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) occur rapidly, the entire cell cycle, including interphase, can take much longer.
During interphase chromosomes take the form of chromatin, an unravelled mess of DNA
During the cell cycle, DNA exists in two primary forms: chromatin and chromosomes. In the interphase (G1, S, and G2 phases), DNA is in the form of chromatin, which is less condensed and allows for gene expression and DNA replication. As the cell enters mitosis (specifically prophase), DNA condenses into distinct, tightly packed chromosomes to ensure proper segregation during cell division. After mitosis, DNA reverts back to chromatin in the subsequent interphase.
During interphase, cells do not undergo mitosis or meiosis, which are the processes of cell division. Interphase is primarily focused on cell growth, DNA replication, and preparation for division. While metabolic activities and protein synthesis occur during this phase, the actual division of the cell's nucleus and cytoplasm does not take place until the cell enters the mitotic phase.
During interphase, the DNA is replicated, which ensures that there will be one copy in each daughter cell after the cell division.

During interphase chromosomes take the form of chromatin, an unravelled mess of DNA
the stage before mitosis is called interphase and majority of the time the cell has is spent in interphase. during interphase the cell acquires nutrients and the DNA replicates.
After cytokinesis is complete, the cell enters the G1 phase of interphase, where it grows and prepares for DNA replication. The cell then moves through the S phase, where DNA synthesis occurs, followed by the G2 phase where additional growth and preparation for cell division take place. Finally, the cell re-enters mitosis or meiosis for the next round of division.

30 minutes
interphase...tz take around 16.to 18 hours..mitotic phase take around 2 hours...
Well actually the US doesn't take up minutes but there are 1440 minutes in a day.
