Question

Cells go through various phases before actually undergoing mitosis. Locate the phase in which the cell copies its genetic material?

Answer 1

This happens during the S phase

I hope this helps

Answer 2

Cell copies its genetic material during the S-phase of the interphase during cell cycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Cell cycle is broadly divided into two phases ; the interphase and the M-phase.
• M-phase is the dividing phase during which the karyokinesis and cytokinesis takes place.
• Interphase is the phase during which the cell prepares itself for division.
• It is further divided into G1, S and G2 phase.
• During G1 phase the cell prepares for DNA replication and the replication complexes assemble.
• The next phase is S-phase during which the DNA replicates itself and the genetic material in the cell doubles.
• The Next phase is G2 phase during which the DNA is scanned by DNA tepair complexes and errors in the replicated DNA are edited and repaired.
• At the end of G2 phase the cell prepares to enter M-phase.
