During Cell Cycle Dna Replicates?

During Mitosis, DNA is replicated during the S phase (Synthesis phase

Synthesis phase
S phase (Synthesis Phase) is the phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G1 phase and G2 phase. Since accurate duplication of the genome is critical to successful cell division, the processes that occur during S-phase are tightly regulated and widely conserved.

) of Interphase. Interphase is basically the daily life cycle of the cell. Cells spend most of their life in Interphase before Mitosis occurs (M phase).

During which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

In the eukaryotic cell cycle, chromosome duplication occurs during "S phase" (the phase of DNA synthesis) and chromosome segregation occurs during "M phase" (the mitosis phase).

Where does DNA replicate in cell cycle?

DNA replicates in the S phase of the cell cycle and initiates at specific regions in the DNA sequence known as DNA replication 'origins'. A number of proteins participate in DNA replication and the process is subject to scrutiny by cell surveillance mechanisms called cell cycle checkpoints.
