If the DNA was removed then the cell would not be able to give out its life activities then die.

How are characteristics transferred to the next generation?
DNA determines what characteristics the cell would have. When a cell divides, the chromosomes containing DNA are split in half. Half of the DNA from the original cell is carried by each of the resulting cells.
What is happens during the s phase of the cell cycle?
DNA is replicated.
Is DNA a single blueprint for the building of a house or like a book of blueprints?
Well, since DNA is made up of more than one part (there are four different nucleotides that make up DNA), and each strand of DNA is sequenced differently throughout each cell in the human body, I would say that it is more like a book of blueprints. DNA sequences in a cell's nucleus set out the cell's structure and function. Different sequences in different cells mean that each cell will have a specific function within the body.
Explain how a cell's DNA can limit the cell's size?
The size depends on the amount of DNA stored in the cell. :)well, I believe it's because if a cell is too big, it has to feed more. As the surface area increases, so does the volume, remember. So think of a balloon. The surface area is very tiny compared to the volume, correct? So, the cell is so tiny because if it were even , say, the size of a quarter, it would have to feed a WHOLE lot to keep from starvation.... I'm pretty sure that's it. So you see, the DNA keeps the cell from starvation.There has to be enough DNA to code for metabolism so the cell can grow.If a cell had unlimited space, it could not be able to perform functions needed to live. The cell's DNA is limited depending on how fast the volume of the cell decreases/ surface area decreases.jhdhjdhdkkdkdkh
Why is DNA important to life?
so if there is a crime, police and invstigators can find out who did the crime because anything that they touch, they leave their DNA
What would happen to a cell or organism if DNA did not got through replication?
It would not be a cell or organism as we understand it. DNA replication is the main event and if DNA had a purpose this would be it.
What would happen if a cell did not make a copy of its DNA (its chromosomes) before it divided?

What would happen to the amount of cellular DNA when cells divides if DNA replication did not occur?
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 can happen if a cell were to get too large for amount of DNA it has?
Cell division
What happen during s phase of cell cycle?
cell duplicates its DNA
What must happen to ensure successful cell division?
The cell must have sets of chromosomes with DNA. When they are separated, the new cell has an exact copy of the DNA from the original cell.
What would happen if the chromosome did not move to opposite sides of the nucleus before the cell pinched apart?
One cell would receive all the DNA, and the other would receive none. The one that receives no DNA would die since the cell needs an intact genome to function, and the other cell would probably die too. Having too many copies of chromosomes can be fatal, and I would expect that having double the needed DNA would kill the cell.
What would happen to each cell if the DNA was not copied during interphase?
Without two identical sets of chromosomes, cell division can not successfully occur.
What would happen if chromosomes didn't cross over?
One cell would receive all the DNA, and the other would receive none. The one that receives no DNA would die since the cell needs an intact genome to function, and the other cell would probably die too. Having too many copies of chromosomes can be fatal, and I would expect that having double the needed DNA would kill the cell.
What happen in the interface during cell division?
the cell makes its DNA split in two
Where does DNA synthesis happen in the eukaryotic cell?
In the Nucleus
What would happen if DNA didn't make copies of itself when making new cells?
The cell would not be a cell it would be dead. It also would not be able to replicate again because it has no instructions to do so.
