Answer:
Explanation:
DNA replication needs to occur because existing cells divide to make new cells, so that the DNA needs to be copied before cell division so that each new cell receives a full set of instructions.
DNA replication - It is the process of producing two identical copies of DNA molecules from one original DNA molecule.
The cell cycle is the series of events that lead to a cell's genome duplication and final division into two daughter cells.
It consist of two main phases - Interphase and M phase
DNA replication occurs at the interphase during S phase of the cell cycle.
Mitosis begins after interphase.
DNA replication occurs before mitosis and cell division so that each newly formed daughter cell receive full set of chromosomes as of parent cell in their nucleus. DNA contains instructions that helps the newly formed cells to operate properly.
