What is the primary function of the interphase in the cell cycle?

Step-by-step solution

The M Phase starts with the nuclear division, corresponding to the separation of daughter chromosomes (karyokinesis) and usually ends with division of cytoplasm (cytokinesis). The interphase, though called the resting phase, is the time during which the cell is preparing for division by undergoing both cell growth and DNA replication in an orderly manner. The interphase is divided into three further phases: G1 phase (Gap 1), S phase (Synthesis), G2 phase (Gap 2)
