S phase.

Solución

In the cell cycle, there are several phases: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), G2 (second gap), and M (mitosis). The S phase is specifically when DNA replication occurs.
Since DNA-copying errors happen during the replication of DNA, they are most likely to occur during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Bonus Knowledge

The DNA-copying errors occur most frequently during the S phase of the cell cycle, which is when DNA replication takes place. During this phase, the cell duplicates its genetic material to prepare for cell division, making it a prime time for random errors to arise as DNA strands are copied.
Additionally, while G1, G2, and M phases are crucial parts of the cell cycle, they primarily involve growth, preparation for mitosis, and the separation of chromosomes, respectively. The S phase is where the action happens! So, if you’re looking to pinpoint where those pesky mutations may sprout, the S phase is the scene of the crime!
