∙ 14y agoCells are continually going through mitosis - cell division. If there is one cell and soon there will be two cells, somehow you need both the cells to have the same genetic material. The only way to do this is to take the DNA in the first cell and duplicate it so there will be DNA for the second cell.

∙ 14y agoA copy is needed for a second cell when cells go through mitosis. Think of it this way: you have one cell with one copy of a genome. But the cell needs to divide and form two cells via mitosis. The only way to have two cells with two separate but identical (mostly) genomes is to duplicate it.

∙ 11y agoDNA needs to copy itself before mitosis can occur so that each of the two new daughter nuclei will be genetically identical. Mitosis is usually followed by cytokinesis, forming two new daughter cells with identical DNA.

Process by which DNA makes an exact copy of its self?
DNA replication is the term.
Cells must copy their DNA before they do what?
Cells must copy their DNA before they can divide into new cells. Replication (of DNA) before division (of the cell)
Why does a cell copy its DNA?
Cell must copy its DNA before cell division so that every new cell has a copy of genome .
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.
When DNA duplicates what does that mean?
DNA is in the nucleus of a cell. When a cell divides (mitosis) the DNA in the nucleus must first duplicate. Basically an identical copy of the cells DNA is made. This creates another nucleus in the cell with a copy of the DNA. The cell it's self then divides, separating the 2 nuclei. Each cell having one each.
Why DNA must be able for copy?
i do not know so why ask me also its a boring question

What must a cell do before it divided?
Copy it's DNA
What uses bacteria to copy DNA?
They can reproduce very quickly
What bonds between bases must be broken to copy dna?

What must a cell do before it can divide to a new cell?
It must make a copy of its deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
What must happen to ensure successful cell division?
The cell must have sets of chromosomes with DNA. When they are separated, the new cell has an exact copy of the DNA from the original cell.
