Because you wouldn't be able to pass on genetic information to daughter cells if you couldn't replicate DNA. Every time you'd create a daughter cell, you'd have half as many chromosomes as the parent cell, until you have to split a single chromosome.

DNA has to replicate in order for cells to reproduce via both mitosis and meiosis

The data table above includes the distance each planet is from the sun. Students in an Earth science class were asked to explain

Serga [27]

Student 4

Explanation:

The sun has less gravitational pull on Neptune because it is farther away. Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects towards its center.
Gravity keeps all the planets in its position and allows it to move in its orbit.
The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects.

So when the distance increases, the force weakens. Since Neptune approximately 4.8 billion kilometers away from the sun, its gravitational force is very less.
