Detailed explanation-1: -During the S phase, DNA is duplicated into two sister chromatids, and centrosomes, which give rise to the mitotic spindle, are also replicated.
Detailed explanation-2: -In most somatic cells, centriole duplication occurs during S phase and is marked by the formation of procentrioles at the proximal end of each parental centriole.
Detailed explanation-3: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -Centrioles duplicate in interphase only once per cell cycle. Newly formed centrioles remain associated with their mother centrioles. The two centrioles disengage at the end of mitosis, which licenses centriole duplication in the next cell cycle.
