The synthesis (S) phase is characterized by DNA replication where the cell's DNA is duplicated in preparation for cell division. During this phase, the cell's chromosomes are replicated to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the genetic material. The S phase is a crucial step in the cell cycle to maintain genetic integrity and ensure accurate transmission of genetic information to the next generation of cells.
The interval before the onset of DNA replication is called the G1 phase, which stands for "gap 1". This phase is characterized by cell growth and preparation for DNA synthesis.
The shortest phase of interphase is the G2 phase, which stands for Gap 2. This phase follows the S phase (DNA replication) and is characterized by cell growth and preparation for cell division. G2 phase is relatively short compared to the G1 phase and is followed by mitosis or meiosis.
A lot of protein synthesis takes place in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This phase follows cell division and precedes DNA replication. It is when the cell grows and prepares for DNA synthesis in the subsequent S phase.
DNA replication occurs during the S or synthesis stage of interphase.
g2 phase
S-phase (synthesis phase) is the part of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G1 phase and G2 phase.
DNA synthesis occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle, which follows the G1 phase and precedes the G2 phase. In this phase, the cell duplicates its DNA to prepare for cell division.
S-phase of interphase
The interval before the onset of DNA replication is called the G1 phase, which stands for "gap 1". This phase is characterized by cell growth and preparation for DNA synthesis.
S stands for synthesis. This is the phase in which the DNA is replicated in advance of the phases of mitosis.
The shortest phase of interphase is the G2 phase, which stands for Gap 2. This phase follows the S phase (DNA replication) and is characterized by cell growth and preparation for cell division. G2 phase is relatively short compared to the G1 phase and is followed by mitosis or meiosis.
The S stands for Synthesis.
The S Phase, with the "S" being synthesis.
During cell cycle the S phase stands for synthesis.
The S-phase of interphase is related to the synthesis of nuclear material. DNA replication also takes during this phase.
The stage in the cell cycle when DNA is copied is called the S phase (synthesis phase). During this phase, a cell duplicates its DNA in preparation for cell division.
A lot of protein synthesis takes place in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This phase follows cell division and precedes DNA replication. It is when the cell grows and prepares for DNA synthesis in the subsequent S phase.
