Well, think about where the DNA is found in a cell :rolleyes:

Tell us what you think is the answer, please :)

If you consult your textbook or an internet resouce (I checked wikipedia and the info they had this subject seems fairly sound) it will tell you that there are two main phases of the cell cycle - interphase and mitosis. Both of these are further divided into subsections that are easy to research. First, ask yourself if the cell needs two copies of DNA before or after mitosis. Then, try to find the subsection that synthesis occurs. Big Hint: The name of the subsection makes sense.
