Detailed explanation-1: -M phase (mitosis) is usually followed by cytokinesis. S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Abstract. Initiation and completion of DNA replication defines the beginning and ending of S phase of the cell cycle. Successful progression through S phase requires that replication be properly regulated and monitored to ensure that the entire genome is duplicated exactly once, without errors, in a timely fashion.
Detailed explanation-4: -A cell cycle is divided into G1, S, G2 and M phases. G1 or first growth is followed by S phase or synthesis phase. DNA replication occurs in S phase and DNA amount doubles up, i.e., a cell with 2C DNA in G1 phase will now have 4C DNA. G2 phase is second growth phase where the DNA content remains the same 4C.
