Answer:

The answer is the S phase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell cycle of a eukaryote cell is composed of different phases: G1, S, G2 and M phases. Collectively, G1, S and G2 phases are called the interphase and prepares cells for division. G1 and G2 are cell growth phases. Only during the S phase, the chromosomes, that carry the genetic material of the cell, will duplicate. The M phase is the mitotic phase, in which the cell divides and produces two daughter cells.
