What happens during the s pahse of the cell cycle?
The S in the cell cycle means synthesis and refers to the synthesis of DNA in the process of DNA replication. Please refer to the Related Links for an excellent website on cells.
What time is DNA replicated during the cell cycle?
During the S (synthesis) stage - after G1 and before G2.
During which period is DNA replicated and cells grow?
Cells increase in Mass during G [growth] Phase and DNA replication occurs during S [synthesis] Phase.
What okazaki fragments are?
In DNA replication, the two DNA strands acting as templates need to be synthesized simultaneously. DNA polymerase is an enzyme which can synthesize the DNA only in 5' to 3' direction.the two template strands are anti-parallel to each other and their complementary strands are synthesized in different direction. In one of the strand DNA is synthesized continuously by adding nucleotides at 3'-OH end. this is referred as 'leading strand' synthesis. the other strand to be synthesized is replicated in short fragments referred 'Okazaki fragments' named after their discoverer Reiji Okazaki.
What happens to the chromosomes during S-phase?
The S-phase is during interphase, which means there are no chromosomes. DNA is replicated in the S-phase ("s" for synthesis). It can only be replicated in the form of chromatin, not wrapped up in chromosomes.
What does the cell do during synthesis?
The DNA replicated
What phase is chromatin and DNA replicated?
Interphase (synthesis)
What is being replicated in the synthesis part of the cell cycle?
Nucleus.
What is being replicated in the synthesis?
dundee ridge middle fool
What copies the DNA in the cell cycle?
DNA is replicated in the Synthesis stage of the cell cycle.
What happens during the s pahse of the cell cycle?
The S in the cell cycle means synthesis and refers to the synthesis of DNA in the process of DNA replication. Please refer to the Related Links for an excellent website on cells.
Does meiosis have an interphase where chromosomes are replicated?
Yes - interphase includes a synthesis stage (often called the 'S phase'), which comes after G1 and before G2. This is when the chromosomes are replicated.
Which event in the cell cycle is DNA duplicated?
DNA is replicated in the S phase; synthesis phase.
Chromosomal DNA is duplicated or replicated during?
Synthesis of Interphase, before the Mitotic Phase in the cell cycle.
What phase is interphase is the s phase?
S stands for synthesis. This is the phase in which the DNA is replicated in advance of the phases of mitosis.
What time is DNA replicated during the cell cycle?
During the S (synthesis) stage - after G1 and before G2.
During which period is DNA replicated and cells grow?
Cells increase in Mass during G [growth] Phase and DNA replication occurs during S [synthesis] Phase.
