Detailed explanation-1: -DNA replication is the process of creating two identical daughter strands of DNA. DNA replication occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells and in the nucleoid region in prokaryotic cells. DNA replication occurs in S phase during the cell cycle prior to cell division.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA replication occurs in microscopically visible complexes at discrete sites (replication foci) in the nucleus.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing all take place within the nucleus, with only the final stage of gene expression (translation) localized to the cytoplasm.
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.
Detailed explanation-5: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
