The correct answer is Option (2) → S-Phase
- M-Phase (Mitotic phase): This is where cell division occurs (mitosis + cytokinesis), not DNA replication.
- S-Phase (Synthesis phase): During this phase of interphase, DNA is replicated (synthesized) so that each chromosome has two sister chromatids.
- G0 Phase: Resting phase; the cell is metabolically active but not dividing and not replicating DNA.
- G1 Phase: Cell grows, prepares for DNA replication, but no DNA synthesis happens here.
Correct Answer: S-Phase |
