To produce exact copy of it for the formation of new body cells.


Why is DNA replication?

The replication of DNA forms new DNA which form new cells when put in the cells of new nucleus's. The body continuously needs to produce new cells through mitosis for growth and repair and therefore without DNA replication these new cells would not be able to be made, which are needed in the human body.


Is the manipulation of the DNA of cells to change heredity traits or produce biological products?

Genetic engineering


When DNA is combined from two different sources what kind of organism does it produce?

If the two different sources of DNA are a sperm and egg cell, they produce a diploid organism, which means that it has two sets of chromosomes in its body cells.


When exogenous DNA is used to make insulin which type of cell produces the insulin?

Bacterial cells are commonly used in biotechnology to produce insulin using exogenous DNA. The exogenous DNA encoding for human insulin is introduced into the bacterial cells, which then serve as a host to produce the insulin protein through the process of genetic engineering.


Why is it not possible to produce living cells from nonliving things such as rocks?

Non-living things do not have DNA, which is essentail for life.


True or false the DNA from your nails is the same DNA as your hair?

True. Both nails and hair are made of a protein called keratin, and the DNA within the cells that produce these structures is the same. Thus, the DNA from your nails is the same as the DNA from your hair.


Of nucleic acids carbohydrates proteins and lipids which do cells produce the most of and why?

Cells produce the most proteins because they primarily make up the human body. All our phenotypes (traits) are expressed from DNA by proteins.


Is the DNA in prokaryotic cells circular or eukaryotic cells?

The DNA in prokaryotic cells is circular, while the DNA in eukaryotic cells is linear.


Does all of the cells of a multi-cellular organism have the same DNA?

That is because there are different parts of DNA that become active depending on the functions and positions of different cells. For example, in a liver cell, the part of DNA that codes for the production of Insulin is not active, therefore, a hepatic cell can not produce Insulin. However, in some pancreatic cells that part of DNA is active and therefore these cells are able to produce Insulin. DNA is not fully activated in any cell.


What cells create DNA?

DNA is created primarily by cells in the body called germ cells, which are found in the reproductive organs. These cells undergo a process called meiosis to produce haploid cells with unique combinations of genetic information, which then come together during fertilization to create a new individual with a complete set of DNA.


Does DNA have cells?

no. Cells have DNA not the other way around
