In which phase of the cell cycle does replication occur in eukaryotes? What would happen if cell division is not followed after DNA replication?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

DNA replication occurs in S-phase of cell cycle in eukaryotes. If cell division is not followed after DNA replication then the replicated chromosomes (DNA) would not he distributed to daughter nuclei. A repeated rcplica.rion of DNA without any cdl division results in the accumulation of DNA inside the cell, thereby causing cell expansion.
