When cells divide, the new cells produced must have a full set of genes in order to function correctly. Genes are made of DNA so it is necessary to replicate (copy) the DNA before the cell divides.

∙ 13y agoDNA is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle. If DNA is not replicated then the new cell will not have a copy of the DNA. If it does not have a copy of the DNA, then the cell will not be able to function properly.

∙ 15y agoAll cells need a copy of the DNA in order to work and function properly, and if DNA wasn't replicated, all of the cells would have to keep going back to the brain for instructions on what to do next, and the veins to the brain would clog, and the person would die.

What phase is DNA replicated in?
DNA is replicated in the S phase of Interphase
What are the phases when a cell's DNA is replicated?
The cell's DNA is replicated during interphase.
What is the origin of each strand in the replicated DNA-?
dkajgfnhdkg
Does DNA replication occur before the cell divides?
the DNA poly-meres must add complementary nucleotides to the DNA
How Can I Compare new double-stranded DNA models with an original DNA Model?
Please elaborate. If you mean how to compare the replicated DNA molecule with the original, there is no point because the replicated DNA molecule is an EXACT copy of the original.
What phase is DNA replicated in?
DNA is replicated in the S phase of Interphase
What are the phases when a cell's DNA is replicated?
The cell's DNA is replicated during interphase.
What is before DNA?
What is DNA replicated before?
When will DNA be replicated?
:Before the cell divition cell needs to double its genetic meterial then the DNA is replicated.;
DNA is replicated where.?
interphase
What will happen during DNA replication?
You DNA will be replicated
What is the origin of each strand in the replicated DNA-?

WHEN ARE CHROMOSOME (DNA) REPLICATED?
Interphase is when DNA replication occurs. :)
Mitochondrial DNA is replicated independently from nuclear DNA?
Yes
When is DNA duplicated and why is DNA duplicated?
DNA is replicated in the process called Mitosis and Meosis. DNA is replicated to make more cells. Your body will make cells if you have a cut, grow, etc..
Does DNA replication occur before the cell divides?
the DNA poly-meres must add complementary nucleotides to the DNA
Is the enzyme that allows replication to occur DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase?
DNA polymerase replicated DNA. RNA polymerase creates mRNA to be used in protein synthesis. RNA polymerase does not replicated DNA.
