If DNA replication did not occur, then when the cell divides the amount of DNA available would be divided. Half going into the knew cell the other half remaining in the parent cell. Each cell would then contain only half the number of chromosomes that it should have and would die fairly quickly.

What are some examples of mitosis?

First of all, the difference between MITOSIS and MEIOSIS is simple. Meiosis is ONLY for the replication of sex cells. Where one cell divides twice to create four gametes (sperm or egg). Each gamete has half the number of chromosomes needed to create a full cell so when they come together, they create one full cell. This allows for Mitosis to happen, creating a new being. Mitosis is for the replication of body cells, basically everything else that is not a sex cell. One cell divides once with the end result being two complete cells. All bodily tissues are included in this type of cell replication (ie, skin, organs, bone, etc.)
