Solution

The correct option is D

Nuclear Division


The correct option is D.

The explanation for the correct option:

  1. S phase is a synthesis phase in which DNA replication takes place in a cell cycle.
  2. It occurs between G1 and G2 phases.
  3. Option d is correct because the S phase is a preparatory phase where genetic material replicates to undergo nuclear division in the M phase.

The explanation for the incorrect option:

Option A

DNA replication, histones synthesis, and nucleosome replication all occur in the S phase of the cell cycle.

Option B

DNA replication, histones synthesis, and nucleosome replication all occur in the S phase of the cell cycle.

Option C

DNA replication, histones synthesis, and nucleosome replication all occur in the S phase of the cell cycle.

Final answer: Nuclear division does not occur in the S phase of the cell cycle.
