Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
DNA replication is important for mitosis because ____
A
it results in a variety of traits amongst the same type of cells
B
it ensures more genetic material in the strongest cells
C
it ensures both cells will have identical, correct genetic information
D
it creates variety amongst cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Figure 1 Meiosis and mitosis are both preceded by one round of DNA replication; however, meiosis includes two nuclear divisions. The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct. The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell.
