The DNA makes copies of its self.


Why is it important for a cell to have two copies of DNA before it enters the division phase mitosis?

It is important for a cell to have two copies of DNA before it enters the division phase of mitosis because each new cell will require a copy of the DNA. The copies are shared between the divided cells.


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.

When a cell undergoes mitosis the daughter cells must inherit what?

Mitosis is the cellular division process not involved in sexual reproduction. In mitosis each daughter cell inherits an exact copy of the parent DNA as well as a portion of the mitochondria necessary for life.


How does a virus multiplied?

A virus injects its DNA into the host cell making it produce multiple copies of that DNA and multiple copies of the protein capsule of that virus. After a while, the host cell becomes full of many copies of that virus, then the host cell explodes releasing all the new viruses. If the host cell is a bacterium and the the virus is a bacterophage, this phenomenon is done in two ways either by the lytic cycle in which virus DNA survives and the bacterial cell is destroyed,or the lysogenic cycle in which virus DNA is incorporated in the host cell DNA.


What is copies during replication?
