Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When in the cell cycle does DNA replication take place?
A
immediately before mitosis begins
B
immediately after mitosis begins
C
in the middle of mitosis
D
between the cycles of mitosis
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA replication occurs during the S phase (the Synthesis phase) of the cell cycle, before mitosis and cell division. The base pairing rules are crucial for the process of replication.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the eukaryotic cell cycle, chromosome duplication occurs during “S phase” (the phase of DNA synthesis) and chromosome segregation occurs during “M phase” (the mitosis phase).

Detailed explanation-4: -The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -1 Answer. DNA replication occurs before mitosis.
