Detailed explanation-1: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
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: -Thus, DNA replication occurs in the S-phase of the interphase.
Detailed explanation-5: -During interphase, the cell grows and the nuclear DNA is duplicated. Interphase is followed by the mitotic phase. During the mitotic phase, the duplicated chromosomes are segregated and distributed into daughter nuclei.
