<span>It's necessary for DNA to replicate as the first step in mitosis because the whole point of mitosis is to create new cells, exactly like the old ones. Since DNA has all the genetic information that makes cells do what they do, it's necessary to replicate them in the act of mitosis.</span>

DNA is a macromolecule composed of nucleotides which carry the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of the cell. One of the most important characteristics of DNA is its ability to make several copies of it (to be copied via the process of replication). When the cell divides into two it must carry each copy of DNA into the divided cells. Through replication, the DNA transfers the information necessary for creating an exact copy of it in the new daughter cell. The transfer of the DNA to the next generation of cells is essential for the function of the whole organism.

<span>DNA replication will make the organism to reproduce the genetic code and transfer it to the next generation (through the reproduction) and thus, to continue the species. </span>

madreJ [45]

If the overall diversity of a population is measured that had gone through a recent bottleneck and then rapidly recovered its former population size, it would have a lower than expected diversity based on its population size.

<h3>What is Population Bottleneck?</h3>
  • A population bottleneck is a situation where the population is substantially reduced. A variety of occurrences, such as an environmental catastrophe, the extinction-level hunting of a species, or the destruction of an organism's habitat, might result in the bottleneck.
  • Due to the loss of many alleles, or gene variants, present in the initial population, the population's gene pool decreases as a result of the population bottleneck.
  • The event has resulted in an extremely low amount of genetic variation in the remaining population, which indicates that the population as a whole has few genetic traits.
  • When a population bottleneck occurs and there are alleles present, the residual population is more susceptible to genetic drift.
