Detailed explanation-1: -The replication of DNA occurs during the synthesis phase, or S phase, of the cell cycle, before the cell enters mitosis or meiosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Before a cell divides, it must first copy (or replicate) its entire genome so that each resulting daughter cell ends up with its own complete genome.
Detailed explanation-4: -S phase : The replication phase is known as the S phase. DNA replication consumes the majority of the cell’s resources. All 46 chromosomes are duplicated in human cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -DNA replicates during interphase. This process provides each new daughter cell with a full complement of genetic material.
