It happens during interphase of the cell cycle.

No, protein synthesis does not occur during replication. Replication is the process of copying DNA, while protein synthesis occurs during transcription and translation, where DNA is used as a template to create proteins.
DNA replication occurs during the S stage of interphase. The S means synthesis and refers to the synthesis of new DNA during DNA replication.
DNA variation in organisms arises from mutations, which are changes in the DNA sequence. Mutations can occur spontaneously during DNA replication, or they can be induced by external factors such as radiation or chemicals. Genetic recombination during sexual reproduction also contributes to DNA variation by shuffling and combining genetic material from two parents.
