When does DNA replication occur in cell division interphase?
Answered
DNA replication occurs in the S phase of interphase, which is the phase of the cell cycle that occurs before cell division. During the S phase, the entire genome is duplicated so that each daughter cell will receive a full set of chromosomes when the cell divides in mitosis (or meiosis). The replication of DNA during this phase is tightly regulated and ensures that the genetic material is accurately copied, which is essential for maintaining genetic stability across generations of cells.
