This is because the cells we need for reproduction need to be genetically different from those of the rest of the body.

Cellular reproduction

When a mother cell divides into two or more daughter cells, this process is known as cell division.  Cell division frequently takes place as a component of a longer cell cycle. There are two different types of cell division in eukaryotes: a vegetative division (mitosis), in which each daughter cell inherits the genetic makeup of the parent cell, and a reproductive division (gametogenesis), in which the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is cut in half to produce haploid gametes (meiosis).  In cell biology, the process of mitosis, during which replicated chromosomes are split into two new nuclei, is a stage of the cell cycle. The number of chromosomes is maintained in the genetically identical cells produced by cell division.

1. Cell starts into mitosis phase of the cell cycle.

2. Helicase begins to break the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases. (The double helix has to be unwound in order to expose the nucleotides)

3. DNA polymerase attach the free-floating nucleotides to the exposed nitrogen bases. (this allows a new DNA strand to be made on the existing one)

4. Free floating nucleotides pair up with exposed nitrogen bases (this is what really builds the new strand, based around the template strand)

5. Two new molecules of DNA are created

Statements:

Adenine

Cytosine (Car in the Garage, Apple in a Tree is a good trick to know how they pair)

DNA

Replication

A tree grows about one-foot each year. you carve your initials into the trunk of a tree that is 15 feet tall. your initials are
hjlf
The initials will still be 4 feet above the ground.

Trees do not grow from the bottom up. At the branch tips there is meristem tissue, so called the apical meristem. Trees grow in height from these apical meristems, so trees grow from the top and the initials on the bottom of the tree will stay at the same height above the ground.
