<prompt> New DNA synthesis occurs inProphaseAnaphaseTelophaseInterphase  <response>: During this phase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis.There are three stages of interphaseG1 Gap 1, in which the cell grows and functions normally. During this time, a high amount of protein synthesis occurs and the cell growsSynthesis S, in which the cell duplicates its DNA semi-conservative replication.G2 Gap 2, in which the cell resumes its growth in preparation for division.Ref: DM Vasudevan, 7th edition, page no: 582
