Within eukaryotes, DNA replication is controlled within the context of the cell cycle. As the cell grows and divides, it progresses through stages in the cell cycle; DNA replication takes place during the S phase (synthesis phase).
During the cell cycle, DNA replication occurs during the S-phase portion of the interphase. Interphase occurs between cell divisions and is a necessary precursor step for cell division.
