Which statement about DNA replication is false?
Answered
A false statement about DNA replication could be: “DNA replication occurs only in the G1 phase of the cell cycle.” This is false because DNA replication actually occurs in the S phase of interphase, not in the G1 phase. During the G1 phase, the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication. Inaccurate statements could also suggest that replication occurs during mitosis, which is also incorrect, as mitosis is the phase where the replicated chromosomes are segregated into daughter cells.
