Replication of the DNA Occurs During

Question

Replication of the DNA occurs during
A) metaphase.
B) prophase.
C) telophase.
D) anaphase.
E) interphase.

Accepted Answer

DNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase. During this stage, the cell undergoes DNA synthesis, resulting in two identical copies of the original DNA molecule. Replication does not occur during any of the four stages of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase).
