DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle, specifically between the G1 and G2 phases of interphase. This phase is dedicated to copying the entire genome of the cell so that each daughter cell will inherit a full set of genetic instructions during cell division. Replication must be completed before the cell enters the M phase, where mitosis or meiosis occurs.
