What is inter phase?

Interphase is the stage in the cell cycle where a cell prepares for division. It consists of three main phases: G1 (growth), S (synthesis of DNA), and G2 (preparation for mitosis). During interphase, the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and produces the necessary proteins and organelles for cell division. This phase is crucial for ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
