Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -S phase: synthesis phase; the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus.
Detailed explanation-3: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
Detailed explanation-4: -How is DNA replicated? Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin.
