Interphase is a lengthy process in the cell cycle, consisting of (G1,S,G2 phases) which prepares the cell for division. If there is no interphase, cell division would not be possible. For example, DNA replication occurs in the S phase. read more
The Importance of Interphase Each cell spends over 90% of its life in the process of interphase. Without interphase there is no possible way a cell would be able to divide because there would be nothing to divide. read more

While preparing to reproduce, the cell makes more cytoplasm (the gel-like substance found inside the cell membrane that bathes the organelles) and increases its supply of proteins. read more
