During which period of interphase (cell cycle) DNA is synthesized?
Correct answer: C. S
- A. G1
- B. G2
- C. S
- D. G0
Explanation
The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells
