Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA replication occurs during the S (synthesis) phase of interphase, which is the period of the cell cycle when the cell duplicates its DNA before cell division occurs. Anaphase, metaphase, prophase, and telophase are all stages of mitosis or meiosis, which occur after DNA replication has already taken place during interphase.
