Solution

Mitotic cell divisioncannot take place without DNA replication in S phase. Two importantevents take place during S phase – one is the synthesis orduplication of DNA and the other is the duplication of the centriole.DNA duplication is important as it maintains the chromosome number inthe daughter cells. Mitosis is an equational division. Therefore, theduplication of DNA is an important step.
