Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In what part of the cell cycle does the DNA make a copy of itself?
A
Interphase
B
Prophase
C
Telophase
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In what part of the cell cycle does the DNA make a copy of itself? Explanation: The replication of DNA occurs during interphase. Arguably, the replication of DNA is the most important step in the cell cycle, as it allows the cell to pass on a full copy of its DNA to each daughter cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Synthesis of DNA takes place in the S phase of interphase.
