1. A eukaryotic cell spends most of its time in interphase, which is like the 'daily living' of a cell.
2. The cell continues to grow and chromosomes make a copy of themselves to get ready to divide.
I hope this helped you answer your questions! I have answered quite a few questions about meiosis, mitosis, and their different phases, and I have definitely learned a lot from all the research that I have done. Peace out!
