Question
When does a bacterium replicate its DNA?In the G1-phase of its cell cycle’s interphase.In the S-phase of its cell cycle’s interphase.In the G2-phase of its cell cycle’s interphase.In the M-phase of its cell cycle.None of the other answers is correct.
Solution
A bacterium replicates its DNA in the S-phase of its cell cycle’s interphase. This is the phase where synthesis of DNA occurs, hence the name S-phase (synthesis phase). During this phase, each chromosome is replicated to produce two identical copies.
