Question

A student was observing slides of cell division in one of the slides he noticed loosely coiled chromatin depicting DNA replication which phase of the cell cycle could it be

Answer 1

Interphase as it prepares cell for division by occurrence of some important biological functions and duplicate genetic material (DNA)

Answer 2

DNA replication occurs during the S phase.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the processes of the cell cycle is a phase called the S phase (Synthesis Phase) in which the DNA is replicated, occurring between the two phases G1 and G2.

Complete accurate DNA instructions in the cell must be duplicated in order to produce two similar daughter cells which occurs during the S phase where loosely coiled chromatin can be seen.
