Interphase is the period between cell divisions. Many processes occur during this time.
Explanation:
As you can see in this picture, Interphase is the life of a cell when it's not dividing. There are three stages of Interphase: Gap 1, Synthesis, and Gap 2.
Gap 1
In Gap 1, the cell, having recently been separated from its daughter cell, undergoes substantial growth. Important proteins are synthesized as well.
Synthesis
This is a very important stage of Mitosis. In Synthesis, DNA is replicated and double-stranded chromosomes appear.
Gap 2
In Gap 2, organelles are produced. In addition, the cell checks itself to see if it's ready for cell division.
