Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement best describes the primary function of DNA replication
A
The ensure daughter cells have a complete copy of the DNA
B
To prevent mutations from occurring in cells
C
To provide genetic variation within specific organisms
D
To allow prokaryotic cells to undergo meiosis
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: -DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell. Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. To accomplish this, each strand of existing DNA acts as a template for replication.

Detailed explanation-3: -What does DNA do? DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. To carry out these functions, DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used to produce proteins, which are the complex molecules that do most of the work in our bodies.
