Describe the G2 cell--include what is happening in the nucleus and cytoplasm?

Question

I left my Bio notes and book at school...yeah I'm an idiot. Trying to Google this stuff, but yeah it doesn't give very good answers.

Answer 1

G2 is the last part of Interphase. G1, S, G2.

The chromatin was already copied in S (synthesis).
G2 mostly is for extra growth, adding more cytoplasm, proteins, and extra organelles in preparation for cell division. The cell also double-checks the replicated DNA to make sure it's been copied correctly.
