interphase Period between two cell divisions when a cell is carrying on its normal functions. Long period of the cell cycle between one mitosis and the next. Includes G1 phase, S phase, and G2 phase. The replication of DNA occurs during interphase.
Since the formation of new DNA is an energy draining process, the cell undergoes a second growth and energy acquisition stage, the G2 phase. The energy acquired during G2 is used in cell division (in this case mitosis).
