Yes it is.
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
Interphase and Telophase
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.
Skin cells spend less time in interphase compared to other cells because they have a shorter cell cycle due to their rapid turnover and constant regeneration. This is necessary for maintaining the integrity and function of the skin barrier.
When the pup has finished growing and is able to breed it's considered an adult.
Interphase was once called the resting stage because it is the stage in the cell cycle where cells are not actively dividing. However, during interphase, the cell is actually very active, carrying out processes such as DNA replication and preparing for cell division.
The term "resting stage" is a misnomer because even though cells are not actively dividing during interphase, they are still carrying out important metabolic activities and preparing for cell division. Thus, the term "resting stage" can be misleading as it implies a lack of activity when there are actually significant processes occurring within the cell.
It's interphase, though ironically, the cell is actually quite busy during this phase trying to perform its normal functions. It is called the resting phase because it is "resting" from cell division.
The longest stage is the resting phase or the interphase which occur between cell divisions.
Although interphase is often referred to as a resting phase because the cell is not actively dividing, it is actually a period of intense activity. During interphase, the cell prepares for division by replicating its DNA, increasing its organelles, and preparing for cell division. It is a crucial stage in the cell cycle where growth and preparation for cell division occur.
Interphase is the portion of a cells mitosis. It is when the cell is resting, and building up the important supplies for the next split. It is often the longest stage, and is followed in order by: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, & Cytokinasis
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
S Phase of Interphase
Another term for the resting phase in the early prophase of the cell cycle is the "pre-prophase stage." This stage marks the transition between interphase and prophase, where the cell prepares for nuclear division by condensing its chromatin and organizing its microtubule structures.
Interphase is not actually a resting phase. It is just called so because the chromosomes are not seen at this phase because they are in chromatin form(invisible) but actually in Interphase the cell undergoes intense chemical activity. Interphase has 3 stages: G1: All organelles are synthesized except mitochondria and chloroplast, cell has high metabolic rate. S: DNA replication occurs. Protein molecules called histones are synthesized n cover DNA. The cell is 4n at this stage. G2: Mitochondria and chloroplast are synthesized and energy store of cell increases. And yes INTERPHASE occurs first and then mitosis or meosis can occur
Interphase is considered non-dividing, but that doesn't mean that the cell's organelles and DNA aren't replicating.
Interphase is a period of a cell's life. It used to be called the resting period, but that name was discarded when scientists realized how much activity takes place during its time.~Alice
