DNA is synthesized during which of the following stages of the cell cycle? Choose all that apply
A.mitosis
B.G2
C.S
D.G1
E.interphase
F. cytokineses
I answered with A,C,E
am I missing one? I am pretty sure I am
G2
Yes, you are missing one stage. The correct answer is A, C, D, and E.
DNA synthesis occurs during the S (synthesis) phase of the cell cycle. This is when the cell's DNA is replicated to ensure that each daughter cell produced during cell division receives an identical copy of the genetic information.
G1 (gap 1) is the phase before DNA synthesis, where the cell prepares for DNA replication. G2 (gap 2) is the phase after DNA synthesis, where the cell prepares for cell division and checks for any errors in DNA replication.
Mitosis is the stage of the cell cycle where the cell's nucleus divides into two identical nuclei. It occurs after DNA synthesis during the interphase.
Cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cytoplasm and forming two separate daughter cells, which occurs after mitosis. It is not directly involved in DNA synthesis.
