Transcription and replication occur during ____________________ of the cell cycle.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription and replication occur during interphase of the cell cycle, specifically during the S phase (synthesis phase). During S phase, the DNA is replicated and prepared for cell division in the subsequent phases (G2 and M). Transcription, which involves the synthesis of RNA from DNA, also occurs during interphase. Therefore, C is the correct answer as it specifically refers to the phase during which transcription and replication occur.
