Interphase is different from the division stages of meiosis and mitosis in that no division occurs at interphase. Activities that occur include increase in the size of the cell and DNA synthesis.

mitosis is the cell division and interphase is technically not a part of mitosis.

^

the first answer was not incorrect, just vary vague.

Interphase is in fact NOT a part of mitosis (as stated before) and is followed by mitosis. Interphase is 90% of the cell cycle whereas mitosis is only the conclusion/final completion of the cell cycle- 10%. However both are crucial. In interphase, the cells are in fact not dividing, the chromosomes and organelles are the ones that are being duplicated. This in turn causes the cell size to increase, not dividing. This then procedes to the final step, mitosis which includes: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Interphase precedes mitosis. This is the main life period of a cell during which it fulfills its specialized purpose and if it is to proceed to mitosis and divide, it is during this time that the cell doubles chromosome counts among other things, and prepares for mitosis. Mitosis begins when a cell completes doubling of chromosomes in interphase and enters prophase.

an interphase is the stage of a cell between two succsesive mitotic or meiotic divisions an a prophase is the first stage of mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotic cell division,during which the nuclear envelope breaks down and strands of chromatin form into chromosomes.

Interphase is the stage before a cell enters mitosis. It is a cell's period of growth before it undergoes cellular division.

M-phase represent mitosis and meiosis both and mitosis specify the one in operation during the cell cycle.

Interphase continues in three stages; G1, S, and G2. Cell division is operated a little but differently. It works in a cycle.

In which phase does a cell spend less time in?

I believe this question is leaning towards the topic of Mitosis. Between each cycle of mitosis, the cells does all its cellular business during "Interphase" which is a way longer phase than Mitosis


What cell is not in a phase of mitosis?

The phases of Mitosis are Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase (IPMAT). Cytokiensis is a separate thing altogether from Mitosis. So anything other than IPMAT is "not a phase in mitosis".


Why is the longer leg longer than the shorter leg if the shorter leg is longer than the longer leg?

Because if the shorter leg was shorter than the longer leg was long, then the longer leg wouldn't be longer than the shorter leg is short. The short leg would be the longer one rather than the long one being the short one.


Why are karyotypes prepared using cells in mitosis rather than cells in interphase explain.?

in mitosis (specifically Prophase) the chromosomes are dense and therefore visible for a karyotype. during interphase they do not have to be ready to be pulled apart so they are not wound tightly.

In the cell cycle of cancer cells interphase is still the longest phase. However, interphase is shorter in cancer cells than in normal cells.

List the stages of mitosis?

Interphase. Technically, the interphase is not a part of mitosis, however, it is still a crucial process as it leads up to the process of mitosis. Hence, the interphase refers to all the other stages of cell cycle other than mitosis. Prophase. Prophase is technically the first stage of mitosis. It is also the longest phase of mitosis, where the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear membrane breaks down (in prometaphase). Metaphase. In metaphase, the microtubules pull on the chromosomes with equal force, and the chromosome moves to the center of the cell. Anaphase. The anaphase is marked by the splitting of the sister chromatids. These sister chrom
