interphase

During the "s" phase of the cell cycle, DNA is duplicated. Why is this important?

• Allows for each daughter cell to be genetically DIFFERENT.

• Allows for each daughter cell to be genetically IDENTICAL

• Allows for each daughter cell to have 2X the amount of DNA as the parent cell.

• Allows for each daughter cell to have half the amount of DNA as the parent cell
