S phase

G2

Detailed explanation-1: -G1 is followed by S phase (synthesis), during which DNA replication takes place. The completion of DNA synthesis is followed by the G2 phase (gap 2), during which cell growth continues and proteins are synthesized in preparation for mitosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Upon G1–S transcriptional activation, cells progress to S phase, initiate DNA replication and subsequently inactivate transcription.
Detailed explanation-3: -The G1 checkpoint. The G1 checkpoint is located at the end of G1 phase, before the transition to S phase. If cells don’t pass the G1 checkpoint, they may “loop out” of the cell cycle and into a resting state called G0, from which they may subsequently re-enter G1 under the appropriate conditions.
Detailed explanation-4: -The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells.
