Interphase is divided into three stages:
* G1 (Gap 1): The cell grows and synthesizes proteins and organelles.
* S (Synthesis): The cell replicates its DNA.
* G2 (Gap 2): The cell continues to grow and synthesize proteins, and prepares for mitosis or meiosis.
It's important to note that interphase is not a resting phase, as the cell is very active during this time. It is essential for the cell to prepare for division and ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes and the necessary cellular components for survival.
