The statement that provides the best description of the interphase portion of the cell cycle is:
**"During interphase, a cell is metabolically active."**
Interphase is a crucial phase in the cell cycle where the cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division. It is not just a resting stage; instead, it includes significant metabolic activity, including DNA replication and synthesis of proteins necessary for cell division.
