Detailed explanation-1: -Then, at a critical point during interphase (called the S phase), the cell duplicates its chromosomes and ensures its systems are ready for cell division.
Detailed explanation-2: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Continuing to grow and carry out normal functions, eukaryotic cells replicate their chromosomes during the S phase of Interphase. S stands for synthesis (of a new set of chromosomes). These matching sets of chromosomes are known as sister chromatids.
Detailed explanation-4: -Because of this, DNA makes a copy of itself in a process known as replication during interphase, a stage that occurs before cells divide.
Detailed explanation-5: -During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA. During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell separates its DNA into two sets and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new cells.
