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)
The two main divisions of the cell cycle are interphase and mitosis. Interphase. During this segment of the cell cycle, a cell doubles its cytoplasm and synthesizes DNA. It is estimated that a dividing cell spends about 90-95 percent of its time in this phase. G1 phase: The period prior to the synthesis of DNA.
