DNA is duplicated in the S phase because in the G1 phase the cell is growing and not yet ready to divide, then DNA copies as the first step for when it is getting ready to divide. In the G2 phase the cell continues to get ready to divide once the DNA is copied.

Is the DNA condensed in all or part of which phases?

DNA is condensed during Prophase, Anaphase and Telophase. Aka, M phase


Is DNA condensed in g2 phase?

Yes, DNA is condensed in G2 phase. During G2 phase of the cell cycle, DNA is already replicated and has undergone condensation to form distinct chromosomes. This preparation ensures that the cell is ready for mitosis.


What phase of cell cycle is dna synthesized?

The DNA is synthesized during the S-phase of the cell's Interphase (G1, S, G2)... That is why it is called the "S" phase-- standing for the word "synthesis".


When is DNA replicated in a cells?

During S phase :)


During what phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?

At mid-interphase.The DNA replicates during the S phase of interphase, after G1 and before G2, the two growth phases. Throughout interphase, the DNA is extended, and free nucleotides have access to the strands.During division (M phase) the DNA is condensed, so that the chromosomes are short, compact, and easily moved to the poles of the spindle.


DNA is copied during what phase in eukaryote cells?

A) Mitosis B) S Phase C) G1 Phase D) G2 Phase The Best Answer is (B) BY Tiiz


Which phase is the DNA replicated in during mitosis?

Chromatin (DNA in loose form) is replicated in the S phase of interphase. Interphase follows prophase and is comprised of a G1 phase, S phase, and G2 phase.


During which phase is DNA duplicated?

DNA is duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle.


During which phase of interphase does DNA replicate?

DNA replicates during the S phase of interphase.


What time is DNA replicated during the cell cycle?

DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle. This phase follows the G1 phase and precedes the G2 phase. It is during the S phase that the cell duplicates its DNA to prepare for cell division.


What phase in motosis does DNA copies itself?

S phase


What phase the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

Nuclear DNA replicates in the S phase. Mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA replicate independently of the rest of the cell. Interphase is composed of the G1, S, and G2 phase. G means growth. S means synthesis.
