What is the importance of DNA replication during cell division?

What is the importance of DNA replication during cell division?
  1. To ensure correct formation of progeny cells
  2. To copy the genetic information of the cell
  3. To ensure the cell growth
  4. To ensure the cell division

Solution

All these processes, i.e., cell division, DNA replication, and cell growth, hence, have to take place in a coordinated way to ensure correct division and formation of progeny cells containing intact genomes.
