Mutations can occur at any point during the cell cycle, but they are most likely to happen during the DNA replication phase, which is part of the interphase stage.

Mutations in DNA often occur during replication. During which phase of the cell cycle do such mutations occur?

Genetic mutations occur during the S phase of the cell cycle (during interphase before mitosis or meiosis begins). This is when DNA is replicated, so any error would cause a mutation in the genetic code. Chromosomal nondisjunction is the failure of replicated chromosomes to separate, which causes extra or missing chromosomes in the daughter cells. This mutation can occur during meiosis I or II and during mitosis.


What type of disease can occur from mutations that can disrupt the control of cell reproduction?

Cancer is a disease that can occur from mutations that disrupt the control of cell reproduction. Mutations in genes involved in cell cycle regulation and growth can lead to uncontrolled cell division and the formation of tumors.


Mutation in DNA often occurs during replication. during which phase of the cell cycle do such mutations occur?

The semiconservative replication of DNA occurs in the S phase or interphase of cell cycle. Mutation too occurs during this phase, whereas growth takes place in G phase.


During what phase of the cell cycle the cell division occur?

Mitosis


When does DNA replication occur during the cell cycle?

DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle.


During which main phase of the cell cycle do mitosis abd cytokinesis occur?

Mitosis and cytokinesis occur during the M phase (mitotic phase) of the cell cycle. This phase is characterized by cell division, where the cell replicates its DNA and divides into two daughter cells.


Where do mutations takes place?

They occur during cell division and at the time when the sperm fertilizes the egg.


During what stage of the cell cycle does respiration occur?

Cytokinesis


When does DNA replication occur in the cell cycle?

DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle.


Does cell growth and replication continue through the cell cycle?

No. Cell growth and DNA replication occur during interphase but do not occur during mitosis and cytokinesis.


Sometimes mutations in DNA can cause control of the cell cycle to fail. What might happen if such a mutation occurred in a person's DNA?

The failure of DNA replication during the cell cycle can cause mutations. If such mutations occurred in a person's DNA, the person can end up getting cancer.
