The correct option is B DNA
  • DNA is the genetic material of most of the organisms. The DNA is replicated and two copies are synthesized.
  • During reproduction, the gametes are formed which contains the half set of the chromosome.
  • It is necessary to replicate the DNA so that the genes which are present in the parents are carried into the cells of the child.
  • DNA replication is considered as the basic process in cell division during mitosis as well as meiosis.
