Why is it important for DNA to replicate?
Answered
DNA replication is important because it allows the cell to pass on its genetic information to daughter cells during cell division. This ensures that each new cell has the same genetic instructions as the original cell, maintaining the integrity of the organism’s genome. Without replication, cells would not have the necessary genetic material to perform their functions, leading to cellular dysfunction, mutations, or death. Proper DNA replication is essential for growth, development, and the maintenance of all living organisms.
