DNA replication occurs during Interphase. This is not normally part of the cell division cycle but interphase must occur before subsequent stages such as prophase and metaphase can occur.

∙ 9y agoThe replication of DNA occurs during the second stage of interphase. This stage is called the S phase, with the S standing for synthesis.

In what part of the cell does the replication occur?
DNA replication occurs during Interphase. This is not normally part of the cell division cycle but interphase must occur before subsequent stages such as prophase and metaphase can occur.
How is replication a part of the cell cycle?
It is the main purpose of the cell cycle, to replicate the cell. the DNA is replicated, along with everything else, to form a new identical cell.
Is interphase considered part of cell division?
No, interphase is part of the cell cycle and so is cell division. They occur at differenttimes in the cell cycle.
When does doubling of DNA occur?
The doubling of DNA (known as DNA synthesis or DNA replication) occurs during the "S (synthesis) phase" of the cell cycle. This is part of interphase, and occurs before mitosis (cell division).
What part of the cell does replication occur?
Replication is a process of synthesizing a new DNA strand complementary to a parent strand acting as a template. It takes place in a nucleus of a cell.
What phase in a cell cycle does mitosis happen?
Normal cell activities occur not in mitosis, but in a cell cycle in a general. This part of cell cycle is called interphase. Mitosis starts when the cell starts dividing, not when a cell is carrying out normal function.
Longest part of cell's life cycle?
The longest stage is the resting phase or the interphase which occur between cell divisions.
What process never occurs in interphase?
Any process that leads the cell toward appropriate division. Cells in interphase are not directly preparing for replication.
What is the biggest part of cell cycle?
prophase is the biggest part of cell cycle
What is the significance of the S phase of interphase?
In the S-Phase, the most important part of cell cycle, the DNA (genome) replicates. It is then followed by division of the cell. If the s- phase fails to occur, a checkpoint before the division phase prevents the further proceedings of the cell cycle. Hence without the happening of S-phase, cell division will never complete.
Is Mitosis part of the cell cycle?
No, but mitosis is a part [the M-phase] of the Cell cycle.
When in cell cycle are cell organelles duplicated?
Organelle replication is part of the process during which cells prepare for mitosis, rather than part of mitosis itself. This happens during interphase, specifically in G1 and G2 (but not S, which is exclusively dedicated to DNA replication). However, organelle replication is not necessarily part of the cell cycle, nor does it follow a cyclic pattern either. Sometimes organelles won't replicate at all, and they will simply be redistributed into each of the new daughter cells. Organelle redistribution is, therefore, a mixture of simple redistribution of previously existing organelles, and a distribution of new organelles replicated during the cell's interphase.
