i thought it will be s

abhisar · Answer

I think u r correct, DNA duplication takes place in S phase

alphadxg · Answer

Chromatin is condensed during S-phase and also replicated during S phase to become easier to see thing (Chromosomes).

to unwind the duplex DNA



to attach primers to the replicating strands



to add bases in the sugar-phosphate backbone

abhisar · Answer

Chromatin starts condensing in prophase

i need help in a cople more if thats ok wwith yall

abhisar · Answer

Pls post one question per thread

alphadxg · Answer

Arghh, I didn't mean to say condensed, but S-phase is still correct.

abhisar · Answer

Yeah..it's correct

abhisar · Answer

Chromatin is loosely interwined in S phase
