Jutta Ellermann is a MSK fellowship trained Board Certified Radiologist with 10 years of clinical practice at the University of Minnesota with a special focus on MSK imaging research. Her areas of research interest include:
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)
Interphase is the longest phase in the cell cycle, because, in that phase, the cell needs to grow, duplicate and replicate chromatin and other parts, and prepare itself for thâ¦e mitotic phases. Interphase has three stages, G1, S, and G2. 2 people found this useful.
