In human cells about 50 nucleotides are added every second to a new strand of DNA at that rate it would take days to to replicate a molecule of DNA. So it replicates all along the chromosome so it only takes a few hours.

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.
What are some reasons that DNA strands need to replicate?
They need to duplicate themselves because when cell division occurs, a new set of DNA needs to be split into another cell.
What if the cell replicates but has no DNA?
It cannot replicate without DNA. All living things are made up of DNA.
Why is it important for DNA is replicated before a cell divides?
so that there will be two sets of DNA ... one for each new cell. If the DNA doesnt replicate one new cell would have no DNA. and cells need DNA.
During which period of time does a eukaryotic cell replicate its DNA?
The S phase of the cell cycle
How does the cell replicate DNA?
Cells do not replicate "In DNA". Cells replicate their DNA during the process of cell division.

Where does DNA replicate occur in the cell?
In the cell nucleus
What part does cell cycle does cell replicate its DNA?
mitosis
What does DNA do to a cell?
DNA is the genetic "instructions" for how the cell should replicate. It also controls the behavior of the cell.
Why would a new cell need a entire copy of the old cell's DNA?
to produce another copy of the cell you're trying to replicate
I need a diagram of a cell to a organism. there are 3 parts between?
its how you can replicate the DNA and make the 5 steps ;)
Why does the cell need to replicate its DNA for mitosis?
because the DNA cannot leave the nucleaus. so it creates a duplicate of the DNA so the process of mitosis can carry out
Why is it necessary the cell copies its DNA?
cells must copy their DNA to replicate
Where does a virus replicate its DNA?
A virus replicates its DNA in a cell when it infects the host
Where does DNA replicate take place in the cell?
DNA replication takes place in the chromosome which is located in the nucleus of a cell.
