Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: Replication of the DNA occurs during the S phase of interphase. Interphase is essentially the first and longest phase of the cell cycle characterized by three distinct phases: growth phase 1 (G1), synthesis (S) phase, and srowth phase 2 (G2).
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.
