Interphase is the phase between mitoses. Mitosis is nuclear division and then together with cytokinesis (cell division), results in division of one cell into two daughter cells. In Interphase, the cell appears to be resting (because the chromosmes, nucleus and cell are not moving and dividing) but in fact during Interphase many ESSENTIAL processes necessary for mitosis are occurring, most importantly DNA duplication (by DNA synthesis) and doubling of the cell size and cell contents. Interplahase is comprised of G1 (Gap1), S (DNA Synthesis) and G2 phases of the cell cycle and get the cell ready for M (Mitosis) phase and cytokinesis forming two identical daughter cells.

Interphase includes the G1, S, and G2 stages. G1=Cell Grows S=DNA is copied G2= Cell matures and prepares to divide. The cell does not divide until mitosis.

During interphase, the nucleus does not split or undergo any sort of change. The DNA in the atom is merely duplicated to prepare for the splitting of the atom into two new atoms.

Interphase involves both the growth of cells and the replication of DNA.
