DNA must be replicated because it is necessary for cell division and growth. During cell division, each new cell needs a complete set of DNA to function properly. Replication ensures that each new cell receives an identical copy of the genetic information stored in the original DNA molecule.

Why DNA have to replicated before cell division?

DNA replication must occur before cell division to make sure that the daughter cells are genetically identical.


What must happen to DNA before it can replicated?

Before DNA can be replicated, it must undergo a process called unwinding, where the double helix structure is separated into two single strands. This unwinding is facilitated by enzymes such as helicase. Additionally, the strands must be stabilized to prevent them from re-annealing or forming secondary structures, allowing DNA polymerase to synthesize new complementary strands based on the original template strands.
