The process of mitosis ensures that each daughter cell has a copy of every chromosome present in the parent cell. Which is the use of this process?

• It creates reproductive cells

• It helps each new cell perform the same function

• It helps replace old, worn out cells

• It helps in multiplication of DNA

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.
