The interphase, or growth, period of the eukaryotic cell cycle (indicated by I in the figure at left below) alternates with mitosis (M in the figure). It's the time when the cell isn't undergoing division.
The phase of the cell cycle that includes mitosis and cytokinesis. The period in the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing. During interphase, cellular metabolic activity is high, chromosomes and organelles are duplicated, and cell size may increase. Interphase often accounts for about 90% of the cell cycle.
