Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
DNA replication occurs during which of the following phases of the cell cycle?
A
G1
B
S
C
G2
D
Mitosis
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -G2 is the shortest phase of interphase. It is when organelles and proteins necessary for cell division are produced. The cell requires a bunch of proteins and other stuff to separate the chromosomes and divide the cell in half. All of these materials are produced during G2.

Detailed explanation-3: -The core function of the cell cycle is to duplicate the genome and divide the duplicated DNA into two daughter cells. These processes need to be carefully coordinated, as cell division before DNA replication is complete leads to genome instability and cell death.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are three stages of interphase: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis of new DNA ), and G2 (second gap). Cells spend most of their lives in interphase, specifically in the S phase where genetic material must be copied.
