The phase of the cell cycle that duplicates chromosomes before division is called the S phase.
DNA duplicates during the S phase of the cell cycle, which occurs before cell division in the interphase stage.

The regular cycle of growth and division that cells undergo is called the cell cycle. It consists of different stages such as interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis, during which the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and divides into two daughter cells.
In the beginning of the eukaryotic cell cycle, the cell undergoes a phase called G1, where it grows and carries out normal functions. During this phase, the cell also duplicates its organelles and prepares for DNA replication in the subsequent phases.

The regular cycle of growth and division that cells undergo is called the cell cycle. It consists of different stages such as interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis, during which the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and divides into two daughter cells.
Before chromosomes can form, DNA must replicate to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material during cell division. This process occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle.
Chromosomes can be seen in the metaphase stage of the cell cycle, when they align along the center of the cell prior to division.
In the beginning of the eukaryotic cell cycle, the cell undergoes a phase called G1, where it grows and carries out normal functions. During this phase, the cell also duplicates its organelles and prepares for DNA replication in the subsequent phases.
Chromosomes duplicate during the S phase of the cell cycle, which occurs after DNA is replicated and before cell division (mitosis or meiosis). This ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes with identical genetic material.
Interphase is the stage in the cell cycle where a cell grows, carries out its normal functions, and prepares for cell division. During interphase, the cell duplicates its DNA and organelles in preparation for cell division. It is the longest phase of the cell cycle.
The correct sequence of events in the cell cycle starting with cell division is: cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm), telophase (chromosomes decondense), anaphase (sister chromatids separate), metaphase (chromosomes align in the middle), prophase (chromosomes condense), and interphase (cell grows and prepares for division).
During cell cycle division, DNA condenses into chromosomes to ensure that the genetic material is organized and can be accurately distributed to daughter cells. This condensation helps prevent tangling and breakage of DNA strands, and facilitates the separation of genetic material during cell division.
