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?
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?
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.
