Interphase, comprising 90% of the cell cycle, is the period of cell growth, DNA replication, and organelle duplication before division.
Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle (90%), during which the cell grows, duplicates its organelles and chromosomes, and prepares for division.
| Front | interphase |
