In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells

In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Cells must replicate their DNA before they can divide. This ensures that each daughter cell gets a copy of the genome, and therefore, successful inheritance of genetic traits. DNA replication is an essential process and the basic mechanism is conserved in all organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why does DNA need to replicate before cells divide? DNA replicates before a cell divides to give a complete set of genetic instructions to each daughter cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis? In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -In a cell cycle, it is important for DNA to be duplicated before mitosis. This duplication process ensures that the new cell will get an exact copy of the genetic material from the parent cell.
