S phase
DNA replication phase of the cell cycle, between G1 and G2 phase / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
S phase (Synthesis phase) is the phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G1 phase and G2 phase.[1] Since accurate duplication of the genome is critical to successful cell division, the processes that occur during S-phase are tightly regulated and widely conserved.
