G2 Phase

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

G2, the second gap phase, is when a cell replenishes its energy stores and synthesizes the proteins needed to move and separate chromosomes during mitosis.

Show

A crew stocking spare tools before a shift mirrors G2's final gathering, readying equipment before mitosis's work begins.

Watch for

G2 is checkpoint-guarded, not guaranteed — a cell with unfinished DNA replication or damage can be held here.
