DNA replication is necessary for cell division. When a cell divides, it needs to produce two daughter cells, each with an identical copy of the genetic material. If replication did not occur, each new cell would lack a complete set of chromosomes, leading to potential cell malfunction, diseases, or failure to divide properly. Replication ensures that the genetic information stored in the DNA is preserved and passed on to future generations of cells.
