Interphase:
(1) Includes karyokinesis and cytokinesis

(2) Some time called resting phase, is the preparatory phase for division in which cell undergoes growth and DNA replication in an order

(3) Is the shortest phase in which biomolecules are synthesised very fast

(4) Includes 5% duration of the cell cycle
