CELL DIVISION

THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?
A
In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
B
In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
C
In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
D
In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.
Explanation: 

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 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-3: -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.
