Answers may vary. Having a sequence of DNA

that could be edited into several different mRNA

molecules makes it possible for a single gene to produce

several different proteins specifically used in

different tissues. This allows a cell to carry less genetic

material. It also makes it possible for very small

changes in DNA sequences to have a large change in

gene expression. This is a mechanism for evolutionary

change

By asking this question, you must have never been taught Biology, or passed the third grade. DNA is the instructions to make life. What if a car factory didn't know how to make a car? would instructions help it.

Note: do not ask this question to anyone else. It makes you appear extremely dumb.
