Yes, for eukaryotes which have a nucleus and therefore have to do<span> nuclear division (</span>mitosis<span>), </span>DNA replication occurs during<span> a specific period of </span>interphase<span>. Protein </span>synthesis<span>, which includes transcription and translation, </span>occurs<span> throughout </span>interphase<span>. But neither </span>replication<span> nor protein </span>synthesis occur during<span> M-phase.</span>
