Premitotic refers to the stage before cell division occurs. There are a few synonyms for this term including pre-prophase, G2 phase, and interphase. Pre-prophase is a term used in plant cells to describe the early stage of cell division where the nucleus and other organelles start to break down. G2 phase is the period between the end of DNA synthesis and the initiation of mitosis. Finally, interphase is the entire period between cell division where the cell grows and replicates its DNA in preparation for division. These different terms all refer to the same stage of the cell cycle, but may be used in different contexts or organisms.
