What would happen if DNA didn't make copies of itself when making new cells?

The cell would not be a cell it would be dead. It also would not be able to replicate again because it has no instructions to do so.

What is the process called when a bacterial cell makes copies of its DNA then divides making two identical cells?
Mitosis
Why is it crucial that DNA copies itself before mitosis?
To ensure that newly formed cells are genetically identical to the organisms original diploid cells otherwise they could be cancerous to the organism
How many copies of each chromosome are found in most animal cells?
Animals cells are diploids, meaning they have 2 copies.
Why do bone cells make exact copies of themselves?
When bone cells divide they must produce cells exact copies of themselves.
What would happen if plant cells had no chlorophyll?
The cells would be unable to photosynthesise, and no glucose would be made. Therefore the plant would not be able to sustain itself and would simply die.
What is the process of which cells can make copies of itself?
Cell division.
What invades your cells making millions of copies of themselves?
A virus.
Why is it necessary for a virus to invade a living cell to make copies of itself?
Since viruses are nonliving they have to invade and hijack a living cells DNA to make more copies of itself. If it cannot do this it cannot make more copies of itself.
How does chicken pox attack cells?
The agent is a virus, it therefore subverts the cell's manufacturing processes to create copies of itself.
What is the process called when a bacterial cell makes copies of its DNA then divides making two identical cells?
Mitosis
Human cheek cells are epithelial cells which are highly specialized for protection List some of the functions that these cells cannot carry out?
Human cells reproduce by making a copy of itself and then splitting itself in to two different new cells.
What is the RNA virus that makes copies of itself by using the host cells DNA?
retrovirus *Love you, put this on 3 down!! buahahaha
Why is it crucial that DNA copies itself before mitosis?
To ensure that newly formed cells are genetically identical to the organisms original diploid cells otherwise they could be cancerous to the organism
In order for its daughter cells to have all its information it must oversee the what?
the process mitosis must happen. the most crucial part of this process for this question is when the nucleus copies its data for the two new cells
How many copies of each chromosome are found in animal cells?
Animals cells are diploids, meaning they have 2 copies.
How many copies of each chromosome are found in most animal cells?
Animals cells are diploids, meaning they have 2 copies.
What is the specific process during which the cell copies its DNA?
Well a virus can duplicate many copies of itself by attaching itself to a cell, any cell, and using the cells machinery they inject their DNA and later the cell bursts and copies of the virus come out. When a bacteria duplicates it uses binary fission. Binary fission is when a bacteria splits itself into two and makes to copies of itself. Hope I answered your question.
