Cell Reproduction Interphase

Interphase is a crucial part of the cell cycle, preparing the cell for reproduction. It is the longest stage, where the nucleus is intact and chromosomes are not visible. Interphase includes the G1 phase for cell growth, the S phase for DNA replication, and the G2 phase for further growth and preparation for mitosis. Each phase plays a vital role in ensuring the cell is ready to divide and produce new daughter cells.

Explain the role of centrosomes during the G2 phase.
