Interphase

Interphase is a phase of cell cycle where cell prepares itself for division. It consists of 3 phases: G1 phase, S phase and G2 phase.

During S or Synthesis phase, all the chromosomes get replicated. Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids.

In eukaryotic DNA, histone and non- histone proteins are known as chromatin. It consists of thread- like structures known as chromosomes. Hence, the replication of DNA in the chromosomes initiates in S- phase of interphase.
