Question

DNA replication take place in the ............ phase of cell cycle.

• A. G${}_0$
• B. G${}_1$
• C. G${}_2$
• D. M
• E. S

Answer 1

The correct option is E S

The interphase of a typical cell cycle comprises of G1 phase, S phase and G2 phase. The S phase stands for synthesis phase in which DNA replication occurs followed by synthesis of histones. This is the phase occurring between G${}_1$ and G${}_2$ phase.

Thus, the correct answer is option 'S'.
