So that each of the daughter cells formed during mitosis will have an identical copy of the DNA.

DNA replication is important because it ensures that each new cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material from the parent cell. This is necessary for the growth, repair, and regeneration of tissues in living organisms.

∙ 11y agoDNA molecules undergo replication during interphase
of the cell cycle. In this way, each newly formed cell receives a copy of the pre-existing
cell's genetic information so that the new cell can synthesize the proteins necessary to maintain life
functions, build and repair cell parts, and perform other metabolic functions.

What happens to a cell's DNA prior to cell division?
It replicates.
Describe what happens in a cell during interphase what if. Y our answer should mention DNA?
the cell grows and replicates its DNA and centrioles.
What if the cell replicates but has no DNA?
It cannot replicate without DNA. All living things are made up of DNA.
Is an organism containing many cells how is the work of the cell performed?
Most of the cell cycle consists of a growth period in which the cell takes on mass and replicates the DNA. This is why the cell cycle is so important.
After mitosis each identical daughter cell has a complete set of what?
DNA replicates before a cell divides ensures that each daughter cell has a complete set of genetic material They must have an identical set of DNA.
What DNA is found in the cell nucleus?
there is no DNA in the cell nucleus however the cell nucleus is important to replicating a cell in DNA strand. (it supprots the chromatin that replicates the DNA)
What cell is the nucleus found in?
there is no DNA in the cell nucleus however the cell nucleus is important to replicating a cell in DNA strand. (it supprots the chromatin that replicates the DNA)
Name two ways in which DNA molecule is important in the life of a cell?
DNA codes for proteins, which do all the work in the cell, and DNA replicates so that the cell can divide into 2 daughter cells.
DNA is found in the nucleus of?
there is no DNA in the cell nucleus however the cell nucleus is important to replicating a cell in DNA strand. (it supprots the chromatin that replicates the DNA)
What happens to a cell's DNA prior to cell division?
It replicates.
Where does a virus replicate its DNA?
A virus replicates its DNA in a cell when it infects the host
When in the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?
DNA replicates during interphase.
DNA replicates during interphase Why is it important for a cell to have two copies of DNA before it enters the division phase mitosis?
inter phase and ur mind
When does a cell replicates its entire chromosomal DNA only?
The cell replicates its entire chromosomal DNA only when its about to divide.
What is the stage of the cell cycle when the cell carries out its functions and replicates its DNA?
interphase
Describe what happens in a cell during interphase what if. Y our answer should mention DNA?
the cell grows and replicates its DNA and centrioles.
What does it mean when a cell replicates DNA?
It means that a copy of the DNA is made; usually an exact copy.
