The chromosome of cell duplicates during the

  • Correct answer
    A
    S-phase of cell cycle
  • B
    $\mathrm{G}_1$-phase of cell cycle
  • C
    $\mathrm{G}_2$ - phase of cell cycle
  • D
    prophase of cell division

Solution

S-phase (synthesis phase) is the part of the interphase of cell cycle occurring between $\mathrm{G}_1$ and $\mathrm{G}_2$-phase. This is the phase in which DNA replication takes place, i.e. chromosomes are replicated.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
