Question

What happens in the G2 phase of the cell cycle

Answer 1

After DNA replication, the cell leaves S phase and enters G2, when the cell prepares for mitosis or meiosis. At the G2 checkpoint, the cell checks two things. First, it checks DNA for any damage that might have occurred during replication. It also ensures all the proteins needed for cell division are present.

Answer 2

The G2 phase of the cell cycle is when the cell prepares for division, Mitosis. Mitosis is also part of the interphase of the cell cycle.
