What is the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

G1 phase is followed by replication of the cell's DNA during S phase. DNA is replicated by unzipping the ladder-like molecule and pairing each side with a new complementary strand. After S phase is complete, G2 phase begins again. G1 phase, S phase and G2 phase are a part of the cell cycle known as interphase. read more

G 2 phase, or Gap 2 phase, is the second subphase of Interphase in the cell cycle directly preceding mitosis. It follows the successful completion of S phase, during which the cell’s DNA is replicated. read more

The cell cycle has two major phases, the mitotic phase, and the interphase. Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle. Cell growth is central to the cell cycle, and this is the primary purpose for interphase. read more
