Multiple Choice
During the eukaryotic cell cycle, DNA is duplicated during which phase?
A
Prophase of mitosis
B
S phase of interphase
C
Metaphase of mitosis
D
Telophase of mitosis
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the phases of the eukaryotic cell cycle, which include interphase and mitotic phase (M phase).
Recall that interphase consists of three subphases: G1 (gap 1), S (synthesis), and G2 (gap 2).
Identify that DNA replication or duplication occurs specifically during the S phase of interphase.
Recognize that prophase, metaphase, and telophase are stages of mitosis, where chromosomes condense, align, and separate, but DNA replication does not occur.
Conclude that the correct phase for DNA duplication is the S phase of interphase.
