What is the function of DNA replication?
Answered
The function of DNA replication is to duplicate the cell’s genetic material before cell division, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the genome. This is crucial for the maintenance of genetic integrity and the proper function of cells. DNA replication enables organisms to grow, repair damaged tissues, and reproduce by passing on genetic information to the next generation of cells. Without replication, cells would lack the necessary genetic material to function properly.
