It must make a copy of its deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
Cells must copy their DNA before they undergo cell division. This ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information.
Since 2 daughter cells will be created during cell division, DNA must first duplicate itself so that each cell gets the same DNA as the parent cell. Then it condenses into chromosomes that are symmetrical, with each sister chromatid on either side containing identical information.
The DNA only needs to replicate if the cell is going to divide. In a dividing cell the DNA must replicate in order to provide a complete copy of the genome to each new cell.
It is called mitosis when regular cells divide. It is called meiosis when sex cells divide.
Cells must reproduce for growth, development, and repair.

Mitosis?
Before a cell divides, DNA must replicate, meaning it makes an exact copy of itself. This ensures that each new cell receives a complete set of genetic instructions.
Before a cell divides, the DNA must duplicate itself through a process called DNA replication. This process ensures that each new cell receives an identical copy of the genetic information stored in the original cell's DNA.
DNA replication must occur before cell division can take place. This process ensures that each new cell receives an identical copy of the genetic material to maintain genetic continuity.

Only a plant has a cell wall. Animals have cell membranes.
