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: -G2 is the shortest phase of interphase. It is when organelles and proteins necessary for cell division are produced. The cell requires a bunch of proteins and other stuff to separate the chromosomes and divide the cell in half. All of these materials are produced during G2.

Detailed explanation-3: -S phase. In S phase, the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus. It also duplicates a microtubule-organizing structure called the centrosome. The centrosomes help separate DNA during M phase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase. During interphase, the cell undergoes normal processes while also preparing for cell division. For a cell to move from interphase to the mitotic phase, many internal and external conditions must be met. The three stages of interphase are called G1, S, and G2.

Detailed explanation-5: -G1 phase (Gap 1)-Cellular contents excluding the chromosomes, are duplicated. II. S phase (DNA Synthesis)-Each of the 46 chromosomes are duplicated by the cell. III. G2 phase (Gap 2)-The Cell “double checks” the duplicated chromosomes for error, making any needed repair.
