Answer: S - phase of cell cycle

Explanation:

Cell cycle is a cyclical process taken place in a cell leading to duplication of its DNA and division of cytoplasm to form two daughter cells.

The S phase of a cell cycle is an important part of the cycle which is found during interphase stage before either mitosis or meiosis.

The S phase of cell cycle is responsible for the replication of DNA. This replication DNA causes it to double before it enters mitosis or meiosis.
