Detailed explanation-1: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because DNA is duplicated during interphase before the cell undergoes mitosis, the amount of DNA in the original parent cell and the daughter cells are exactly the same.
Detailed explanation-3: -During interphase, G1 involves cell growth and protein synthesis, the S phase involves DNA replication and the replication of the centrosome, and G2 involves further growth and protein synthesis.
Detailed explanation-4: -The interphase of a normal cell cycle will thus, consist of the G1 (Gap 1) phase, S (Synthesis) phase, and G2 (Gap 2) phase. The S phase is the phase in which replication of DNA will take place which is then followed by histones synthesis. This is the phase taking place between the G1 phase and G2 phase.
