Detailed explanation-1: -G2 phase is a period of rapid cell growth and protein synthesis during which the cell prepares itself for mitosis. Curiously, G2 phase is not a necessary part of the cell cycle, as some cell types (particularly young Xenopus embryos and some cancers) proceed directly from DNA replication to mitosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -The last part of interphase is called the G2 phase. The cell has grown, DNA has been replicated, and now the cell is almost ready to divide. This last stage is all about prepping the cell for mitosis or meiosis. During G2, the cell has to grow some more and produce any molecules it still needs to divide.
Detailed explanation-3: -The G2 phase continues growth of the cell and prepares the cell for mitosis (M phase) by producing all of the enzymes that the cell will need in order to divide. Color the G2 phase light blue. After the G2 phase of interphase, the cell is ready to start dividing.
