Detailed explanation-1: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
Detailed explanation-2: -S phase. In S phase, the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus. It also duplicates a microtubule-organizing structure called the centrosome. The centrosomes help separate DNA during M phase.
Detailed explanation-3: -The interphase of a normal cell cycle will thus, consist of the G1 (Gap 1) phase, S (Synthesis) phase, and G2 (Gap 2) phase. The S phase is the phase in which replication of DNA will take place which is then followed by histones synthesis. This is the phase taking place between the G1 phase and G2 phase.
Detailed explanation-4: -Then, at a critical point during interphase (called the S phase), the cell duplicates its chromosomes and ensures its systems are ready for cell division. If all conditions are ideal, the cell is now ready to move into the first phase of mitosis.
Detailed explanation-5: -Also known as gap 1 phase, it is the first phase of the cell cycle in cell division. The cell is metabolically active and continuously grows in this phase of the cell cycle. However, no DNA replication takes place in this phase.
