In order for cells to divide and produce properly working cells, each resulting cell has to contain all the proper DNA. As such, the DNA is replicated so the cells each have the full DNA, so nothing is missing.
because if it didn't it could some parts that need to be there for it to become a cell
Because if the chromosomes don't replicate before the cell divides, then the new cell wouldn't have the chromosomes it needed.
This is because each divided Cell needs it's own copy of the chromosomal DNA.
The quantity of DNA doubles to ensure that when the cell divides to produce two daughter cells, each daughter cell has the correct quantity of DNA.
why is it important for a cell to copy its heredtiy information before dividing
Yes, the chromosomes double/make a copy of themselves.
Before mitosis begins, the chromosomes in a cell replicate. This occurs during the S (synthesis) phase. Chromosomes need to replicate so that when the cell divides at the end of mitosis, the daughter cells each recieve a copy of the chromosomes.
DNA must be copied before cell division so that one complete copy of each chromosome ends up in each of the two daughter cells. Otherwise only one cell would end up with DNA, making the other cell.. well.. not a cell.
It ensures that each newcell will be an exactcopy of its parent cell.
They copy their chromosomes so that when they do divide into two different cells each one will have its own set of chromosomes and it couldn't be copied and transferred after divison occured
So that the new cells have the same chromosomes as the parent cells.
It gathers nutrients to make a copy of its DNA

Yes. The cells go through mitosis, where the DNA doubles its chromosomes and eventually separate, giving an exact copy as the cell before.
DNA must be copied before cell division so that one complete copy of each chromosome ends up in each of the two daughter cells. Otherwise only one cell would end up with DNA, making the other cell.. well.. not a cell.
It ensures that each newcell will be an exactcopy of its parent cell.
Cells must copy their DNA before they can divide into new cells. Replication (of DNA) before division (of the cell)
