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 is defined by three stages: the first gap phase (G1), the synthesis (S) phase, and the second gap (G2) phase.
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.
