The statement that best describes why a cell spends the majority of its time in interphase is:
The cell is growing and carrying out processes such as metabolism and DNA replication.
Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division by growing, producing necessary proteins, and replicating its DNA, making it critical for the cell's overall function and preparation for mitosis.
