G2 Phase
The G2 Phase is a part of the cell cycle that occurs after DNA replication in the S Phase and before the cell enters mitosis. During this phase, the cell continues to grow and produce proteins, ensuring it is ready for division. The G2 Phase is crucial for checking DNA for any damage and making necessary repairs.
Cells also prepare for mitosis by synthesizing components needed for cell division, such as microtubules. The G2 Phase typically lasts several hours, depending on the cell type, and is essential for maintaining genetic stability and proper cell function.
