Interphase. 1  G1 phase: The period prior to the synthesis of DNA. 2  S phase: The period during which DNA is synthesized. 3  G2 phase: The period after DNA synthesis has occurred but prior to the start of prophase.  In the latter part of interphase, the cell still has nucleoli present.â.
Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life. 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.
