Detailed explanation-1: -A cell grows during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. During this phase, more organelles are produced, a high amount of protein synthesis occurs and the volume of the cytoplasm increases. The cell continues to grow further in the G2 phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -In G1, cells accomplish most of their growth; they get bigger in size and make proteins and organelles needed for normal functions of DNA synthesis. Here, proteins and RNAs are synthesized, and, more especially the centromere and the other components of the centrosomes are made.

Detailed explanation-3: -Initially in G1 phase, the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles. In S phase, the cell copies its DNA to produce two sister chromatids and replicates its nucleosomes. Finally, G2 phase involves further cell growth and organisation of cellular contents.

Detailed explanation-4: -During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -G1 is the stage where the cell is preparing to divide. To do this, it then moves into the S phase where the cell copies all the DNA. So, S stands for DNA synthesis.
