â in cells capable of dividing, the period between cell divisions is called interphase â cells spend most of their time in interphase because this is the phase where they perform their functions (obtaining energy, synthesizing products, repair damage, fight disease, duplicate their genetic material and get ready for division)
There three stages in interphase occur in a particular order as part of the cell cycle; cells spend a majority of this cycle in interphase. The Purpose of Interphase While prokaryotic cells, like bacteria, replicate through binary fission, eukaryotic cells divide through mitosis or meiosis.
