The G2 phase is immediately preceded by the S ( DNA synthesis for chromosome duplication) phase, and is followed by the M (mitosis, or cell division) stage.
The shortest phase of interphase is the G2 phase, which stands for Gap 2. This phase follows the S phase (DNA replication) and is characterized by cell growth and preparation for cell division. G2 phase is relatively short compared to the G1 phase and is followed by mitosis or meiosis.

G2
G2 phase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. G2 phase. G2 phase, or pre-mitotic phase, is the third and final 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.
Cells in G2 phase have a diploid set of chromosomes, which is twice the number found in gametes (haploid cells). In humans, this means that 46 chromosomes enter G2 phase.
When DNA replication is completed, the cell enters the G2 phase. G2 phase is usually he shortest of the three phases of interphase. During the G2 phase, many of the organelles and molecules required for cell division are produced. When the events of the G2 phase are completed, the cell is ready to enter the M phase and begin the process of cell division.
The DNA is synthesized during the S-phase of the cell's Interphase (G1, S, G2)... That is why it is called the "S" phase-- standing for the word "synthesis".
G2
The G1 phase is mainly a period of growth and development for the cell. The G2 phase follows the S phase (where DNA is replicated) and is the final phase of Interphase. In the G2 phase, the final preparations are made for mitosis as the cell copies the rest of its organelles.
G2 phase
M Phase
10 chromosomes in the G2 phase, as the DNA is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle.
