Question

In What stage of the cell cycle does dna replication occur?

Answer 1

The interphase of cell cycle has 3 stages: G1, S, and G2 phase. The replication of the DNA occurs during the S phase. In the G1 phase cell grows and prepares for DNA replication, while in G2 phase cell prepares itself for cell division.

Answer 2

The correct answer is- Synthesis(S) phase

Step-by-step explanation:

Interphase is the phase where cells spend most of their time. It is known as the resting phase and contains 3 stages called G1, S, and G2 phase. In G1 phase cells grow in size and produce those enzymes which are required for DNA replication.

In the synthesis phase, the DNA is replicated and gets doubled. This event is very important in the cell cycle because it allows each cell produced after cell division to take an equal amount of genetic material which is identical. Therefore in the cell cycle DNA replication occurs in the synthesis phase.
