The phase of the cell cycle in which DNA synthesis takes place is _______
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A S phase
There are 4 phases of the cell cycle, namely G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase and M phase. During G1 phase or gap 1 phase, the cell increases in size. Also, various proteins are synthesized in this phase. During S phase or synthesis phase, the DNA replication takes place. During G2 phase, cell continues to grow until it enters the M phase or mitosis phase. Cell division takes place in M phase.Thus, the correct answer is 'S phase.'
