The GIT mucus lining of the GIT serve as a physical barrier to the movement of digested food substances.

The mucus also help to prevent inflammation of the bowels; by reducing  or suppressing immune response to inflammation.

Why is it important that the cellâs dna is duplicated before cell division?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is important that a cell undergoes replication before cell division occurs because, the main goal of cell division is to make more cells. And for all these cells to remain functional, all their components must be intact and complete. without this, these cells might not function. Thus, the goal of replication is to produce the next new copy that would go into one of the daughter cells produced. With DNA replication, the set of DNA present in a cell can be duplicated and then each daughter cell that results from division can have its own entire set of DNA and then cell division can theoretically continue as normal indefinitely.
