Question
How does the amount of DNA remain constant though each new generation is a combination of DNA copies of two individuals?
Solution
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) copying is an essential part of reproduction, as it passes genetic information from parents to offspring. The reproducing cells produce a copy of their DNA through some chemical reactions and result in two copies of DNA. The copying of DNA always takes place along with the creation of additional cellular structure. This process is then followed by the division of a cell into two cells. In this way, the amount of DNA remains constant through each new generation.
