ANSWER: A copy of DNA is necessary in the process of protien synthesis.
cells must copy their DNA to replicate
DNA polymerase is the enzyme that "unzips" the complementary DNA strands allowing mRNA to transcribe, or copy, a section of DNA.
It is necessary because each cell needs a copy of all the DNA.
The nucleus of each cell contains the DNA. The nucleus of each cell contains a complete copy of all DNA necessary to produce a new organism.
DNA replication produces a copy of the DNA. At the same time the cell in which the DNA is to be found splits into two with a copy of the DNA in each. DNA replication is caused by cell replication during the process of mitosis.
An incorrect copy of DNA is also known as a mutation.
When cells divide, the new cells produced must have a full set of genes in order to function correctly. Genes are made of DNA so it is necessary to replicate (copy) the DNA before the cell divides.
because the new DNA needs an original strand as well a new strand, thanks to helicase. that's why it is considered "semi-conservative". Unzipping the DNA allows an official copy to be made.
DNA
A gene is the DNA code that can make a copy of itself.
The universal DNA code can make a copy of itself.
It means that a copy of the DNA is made; usually an exact copy.
