Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
DNA Replication occurs
A
during Anaphase I
B
during Prophase I
C
during S phase of Interphase
D
during Metaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Throughout interphase, nuclear DNA remains in a semi-condensed chromatin configuration. In the S phase, DNA replication results in the formation of identical pairs of DNA molecules, sister chromatids, that are firmly attached to the centromeric region. The centrosome is duplicated during the S phase.

Detailed explanation-3: -G2 phase, Gap 2 phase, or Growth 2 phase, is the third subphase of interphase in the cell cycle directly preceding mitosis. It follows the successful completion of S phase, during which the cell’s DNA is replicated.

Detailed explanation-4: -1 Answer. Sam S. During Mitosis, DNA is replicated during the S phase (Synthesis phase) of Interphase.
