why does dna need to replicate during interphase?
cytokinesis
during this phase, the cell copies its dna in preparation for mitosis. interphase is the 'daily living' or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, reads its dna, and conducts other "normal" cell functions. the majority of eukaryotic cells spend most of their time in interphase. this phase was formerly called the resting phase. however, interphase does not describe a cell that is merely resting; rather, the cell is living and preparing for later cell division, so the name was changed. a common misconception is that interphase is the first stage of mitosis. however, since mitosis is the division of the nucleus, prophase is actually the first stage.
interphase
the duration of time spent in interphase and in each stage of interphase is variable and depends on both the type of cell and the species of organism it belongs to. most cells of adult mammals spend about 24 hours in interphase; this accounts for about 90%-96% of the total time involved in cell division.









































interphase includes g1, s, and g2 phases. mitosis and cytokinesis, however, are separate from interphase.
