Though redundantly described as a resting phase, interphase does not really involve rest. Comment.

Explanation

The interphase also called phase of non-apparent division through called the resting phase in the time during which the cell is preparing for division by involving both cell growth and DNA replication. The interphase is divided into three further phases . They are :
(i) `.G_(1).` phase : It corresponds to the internal between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication. In this the cell is metobolically active and continuously grows.
(ii) .S. phase : Synthesis phase marks the period during which DNA synthesis or replication takes place. The amount of DNA per cell doubles. However, there is no increase in the number of chromosomes.
(iii) `.G_(2).` phase : Proteins are synthesized.
