During which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. S phase
- Step 1: S stands for synthesis. Step 2. Each chromosome is copied to form two sister chromatids. Answer: S phase. Why not the others: G1 and G2 are interphase growth and checkpoint phases, while M phase encompasses nuclear mitosis and cytokinesis rather than semiconservative DNA replication.
