Since 2 daughter cells will be created during cell division, DNA must first duplicate itself so that each cell gets the same DNA as the parent cell. Then it condenses into chromosomes that are symmetrical, with each sister chromatid on either side containing identical information.

Why must cells be able to both transcribe and replicate their DNA?

The DNA only needs to replicate if the cell is going to divide. In a dividing cell the DNA must replicate in order to provide a complete copy of the genome to each new cell.
