Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
The 0.3% of DNA does not replicate during the S phase. This DNA replication occurs in Zygotene.
S phase (Synthesis Phase) is the phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G1 phase and G2 phase. Since accurate duplication of the genome is critical to successful cell division, the processes that occur during S-phase are tightly regulated and widely conserved.
Zygotene is the second stage of meiosis prophase-1 after the S phase, here uncoiling and condensing of chromosomes takes place. Also, the leftover DNA that does not replicate during S-phase, replicates in the zygotene phase.
