Interphase in the Cell Growth Cycle

Interphase is the stage of the cell cycle when a eukaryotic cell grows and copies its DNA before mitosis. In a typical human cell, the full cell cycle takes about 24 hours, and interphase makes up about 95 percent of that time. It is followed by mitosis, also called M, when the cell divides.

In eukaryotic cells, the largest portion of the cell cycle is interphase, which is divided into three stages, G₁, S, and G₂. In G₁, the first gap phase, a newly generated daughter cell grows in size and prepares for DNA duplication in the next phase.

Now, in S, the synthesis phase, cells duplicate their n...
