NOT.
STATEMENT MY ANSWER
Interphase is the next stage of cell division. Nothing happens in interphase.
The cell spends most of its time at rest.
Interphase is comprised of smaller phases where growth and synthesis of DNA take place.
Cells gain weight first before dividing.
There are four phases in mitosis.
