Question
Why is DNA copying an essential part of the process of reproduction?
Solution
DNA copying is an essential part of reproduction as it passes genetic information from parents to offspring. It determines the body design of an individual. 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 structures. This process is then followed by the division of a cell to form two cells.
