DNA replication is crucial because it ensures that genetic information is accurately transferred to daughter cells. Without this process, cells would not inherit the full set of genetic instructions required for proper functioning and survival. DNA replication supports cellular growth, tissue repair, and the development of new cells, which are essential for maintaining normal biological functions. Additionally, DNA replication plays a vital role in the inheritance of genetic traits and in the propagation of life from one generation to the next. Without accurate DNA replication, cells would be prone to mutations and genomic instability, leading to diseases such as cancer.
