Question

what are the importance of DNA copying?

Answer 1

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a genetic material made up of genes which carries genetic information required by the cells to divide and produce proteins. Genes are responsible for the physical appearance and body functions of an organism. During reproduction, the information for inheritance of characteristics is passed on from the parents to the offsprings in the form of DNA. DNA copying (DNA replication) is essential for the continuation of species. Without DNA replication, a particular species will not exist for a long time. It produces new individuals that resemble their parents.
