Why do you think it is important for a cell to grow before it replicates its DNA? Be as specific as you can in your answer

Biology

Answer:

Basically, every time a cell undergoes mitosis (one kind of cell division), various enzymes work to split each DNA strand in half, and then replace the missing half on the separated strands with corresponding nucleotides, leaving you with two identical strands. When the entirety of a cell's genome is copied (along with all the organelles), the cell can split into two daughter cells.

Imagine slicing yourself down the middle and splitting yourself in half, and then using each half of you as a template to recreate the other half.

That's the biology behind it, but the bottom line is that DNA is replicated in order to reproduce itself.

Dna replication needs to occurs because existing cells divide to produce new cells. Each cell needs a full instruction manual to operate properly. so the dna needs to be copied before cell division so that each new cell receives full set of instructions. - Google

joja [24]

Answer:

There are many types of evidence which support the theory of evolution such as comparative anatomy, fossil records, phylogenetic relationship, embryology et cetera

Comparative anatomy includes homologous organs and analogous organs. They support divergent and convergent evolution respectively.  

For example, the homologous structure of limb of humans, birds, bat, horse, whale et cetera show that they are made up of the same set of bones which are humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.  

It shows divergent evolution and supports that these organisms have evolved from a common ancestor.

Embryological evidence: When early stages of embryological development of different organisms are compared, it is found that these stages are similar at different levels of development.

For example:

  • The appearance of pharyngeal-arch (gill-like structures) in vertebrates during embryo development.
  • Salamanders and terrestrial frogs pass through larval stages within an egg. They possess the features similar to aquatic larvae, however, when they hatched out the eggs being ready for life on land.
