Cell Biology
The S phase, or synthesis phase, is the part of the cell cycle where DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of chromosomes. This phase is critical because it ensures that each daughter cell will receive an exact copy of the genetic material during cell division. The S phase follows the G1 phase and precedes the G2 phase, and it is tightly regulated to prevent errors in DNA replication.
congrats on reading the definition of S Phase. now let's actually learn it.
