10 Questions
What is the function of DNA in a cell?
DNA stores all the information necessary for normal functioning of the cell.
Why is it important for each daughter cell to receive a true copy of the parent cell's genome during cell division?
To ensure that the composition of DNA in daughter cells is the same as that of the parent cell.
How is the fidelity of DNA structure maintained during DNA replication?
The fidelity of DNA structure is maintained by the complementarity between the bases A and T, and C and G, which always pair with each other.
When does DNA replication occur in relation to cell division?
DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle, immediately prior to cell division.
What happens to the amount of DNA in a cell during DNA replication?
The amount of DNA in a cell doubles during DNA replication.

constant
During the S phase of the cell cycle, immediately prior to cell division, the DNA of the cell ______ and one copy of the genome is transferred to each of the daughter cells
doubles
