Detailed explanation-1: -During interphase, the chromosomes are decondensed and distributed throughout the nucleus, so the nucleus appears morphologically uniform. At the molecular level, however, interphase is the time during which both cell growth and DNA replication occur in an orderly manner in preparation for cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA. During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell separates its DNA into two sets and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the eukaryotic cell cycle, chromosome duplication occurs during “S phase” (the phase of DNA synthesis) and chromosome segregation occurs during “M phase” (the mitosis phase).

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA replication occurs inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, where the chromosomes are stored and where the enzyme machinery required for replication is located. For prokaryotic cells, the DNA replication location is in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid.

Detailed explanation-5: -1 Answer. Sam S. During Mitosis, DNA is replicated during the S phase (Synthesis phase) of Interphase.
