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

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

Double helix
