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

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

<span>• A large population size • Limited-to-no immigration, emigration, or migration (genetic flow) </span>
<span>• No natural selection on that locus or trait </span>
<span>• Random mating (panmixis) It can describe other types of equilibrium as well, especially in modeling contexts.</span>

Which statement CORRECTLY describes why the DNA synthesis is discontinuous on one template strand while continuous on the other?
natima [27]

The DNA synthesis process is continuous on one strand while discontinuous on the other because of the fact that the DNA polymerase can add new nucleotides to the newly replicated strand only at the 3'end. The two strands of the DNA are anti-parallel, and so during the process of replication the DNA polymerase only works by adding new nucleotide from the 3' end. This leads to the synthesis of a continuous strand on one template stand, and the formation of the okazaki fragments on the another.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option B and Option D'.
