What stage in cell cycle that allows an exact copy of the DNA to be synthesized?
A
G0 phase
B
G1 phase
C
G2 phase
D
Synthesis phase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -G1 is followed by S phase (synthesis), during which DNA replication takes place. The completion of DNA synthesis is followed by the G2 phase (gap 2), during which cell growth continues and proteins are synthesized in preparation for mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The replication of DNA occurs during the synthesis phase, or S phase, of the cell cycle, before the cell enters mitosis or meiosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA.
