What is the importance of DNA copying in reproduction?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material found in the chromosomes, which is present in the nucleus of a cell. Additional copies of DNA are made during replication which is necessary for the new cells formed after cell division. Copying of DNA is the basic event of reproduction because DNA present in the cells undergoing reproduction produces its copy so that the information for the development of characters may pass over to the next generation through dividing cells or gametes.
