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.
So that there are an equal set of the same DNA in each cell after mitosis occurs.
Yes. In meiosis, the DNA is replicated once and the cell divides twice.
:Before the cell divition cell needs to double its genetic meterial then the DNA is replicated.;
it has to copy its DNA
If you are referring to cell division, this is most commonly mitosis, in which the cell replicates its organelles, and then divides. However, there is also meiosis, in which the organelles are not replicated before division, thus resulting in a gamete or sex cell (eggs/sperm).
a parent cell does before dividing is (i do not know because this did not ANSWER MY QUESTION
the DNA poly-meres must add complementary nucleotides to the DNA
so that when the cell divides each new cell has a full copy of the DNA
Yes. In meiosis, the DNA is replicated once and the cell divides twice.
:Before the cell divition cell needs to double its genetic meterial then the DNA is replicated.;
Because it is the system by which plants and animals grow.When the cell divides a complete copy of the first cell's DNA must be replicated in the new cell.
Organelles such as the mitochondria and the chloroplasts replicated in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This is so that when the cell divides, no parts are lost.
Your DNA is copied into the new cell every time it divides
in mitosis a parent cell divides into two daughter cells in which the chromosomes are replicated and distributed equally into daughter cells. while in meiosis a parent cell divides into four unequall daughter cells.
it has to copy its DNA
The daughter cells produced are genetcally identical. A mitosis divides cells, which still contains the same number on chromosomes. In mitosis DNA is replicated once, and the nucleus divides once. In meiosis DNA is replicated once, but the nucleus is divided twice.

The cell's DNA is replicated during interphase.
