Detailed explanation-1: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because DNA is duplicated during interphase before the cell undergoes mitosis, the amount of DNA in the original parent cell and the daughter cells are exactly the same.
Detailed explanation-3: -During interphase, G1 involves cell growth and protein synthesis, the S phase involves DNA replication and the replication of the centrosome, and G2 involves further growth and protein synthesis.
Detailed explanation-4: -The G1 phase stands for gap 1 and is when organelles replicate and the cell grows. The S phase stands for synthesis and is when DNA is replicated. The G2 phase stands for gap 2 and is when DNA is proofread and DNA damage is repaired.
Detailed explanation-5: -DNA replicates in the S phase of the cell cycle and initiates at specific regions in the DNA sequence known as DNA replication ‘origins’.
