Introduction. Chromosomal DNA replication occurs during a phase of the cell cycle known as the S phase. Although the length of the S phase can vary significantly between different cell types, several absolute controls exist that dictate when and how many times in a cell cycle DNA replication can occur.
The G1/S transition is a major checkpoint in the regulation of the cell cycle. S phase: To produce two similar daughter cells, the complete DNA instructions in the cell must be duplicated. DNA replication occurs during this S (synthesis) phase. Depending on levels of nutrients, energy and external factors, cells must decide to enter the cell cycle or move into a non-dividing state known as G 0 phase.
