Detailed Solution

(i) is correct. DNA synthesis, or replication, occurs specifically during the S phase of the cell cycle. 
(ii) is correct. All cells reproduce by dividing into two, with each parental cell giving rise to two daughter cells.
(iii) is correct. Human cells in culture are often used as a model system to study the eukaryotic cell cycle because they undergo a typical cell cycle progression similar to other eukaryotic cells. 
(iv) is generally correct. During the cell cycle, DNA replication occurs during the S phase, while cell growth and preparation for division occur during the G1 and G2 phases. These events are coordinated and regulated in an orderly manner to ensure accurate duplication of genetic material and cell division.
