During which stage does DNA copy itself?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the specific stage in the cell cycle when DNA is replicated or copied. This relates to biological processes during cell division.
Answer
S phase of interphase
The final answer is the S phase of interphase.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is the S phase of interphase.
More Information
The S phase stands for 'synthesis' phase, which is a part of interphase where DNA replication occurs, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the organism's genome.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the S phase with the M phase. The M phase involves mitosis and cytokinesis, not DNA replication.
