A cell spends the majority of its life in interphase, which is the phase of the cell cycle where it grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for division. Interphase consists of three stages: G1 (growth), S (synthesis), and G2 (preparation for mitosis). During this time, the cell carries out its normal functions and metabolizes nutrients. Only a small fraction of its life is spent in mitosis, the process of cell division.
