It is important that the DNA is copied exactly during replication because any errors in replication can cause mutations. For example, even one incorrect base can result in an enzyme becoming inactive. These mutations can be lethal or have severe consequences on the organism's health.

When DNA replicates one of the two strands in each daughter DNA molecule is new discuss what is required for this replication and why it is important that the DNA is copied exactly.?

DNA replication requires enzymes that unzip the double helix, create new complementary strands, and proofread for errors. It is important for DNA to be copied exactly to maintain genetic information integrity and prevent mutations. The fidelity of DNA replication ensures that genetic information is accurately passed down to offspring and functioning properly in cells.
