Question
- where does dna replication happen?
- when does dna replication happen?
Brief Explanations
DNA replication occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells (where the DNA is located). In prokaryotic cells (which lack a nucleus), it occurs in the cytoplasm.
For the timing, in eukaryotes, DNA replication happens during the S - phase (synthesis phase) of the cell cycle. This is before cell division (mitosis or meiosis) so that each new cell gets a complete set of genetic information.
