Question

ghstonls1.1, ls1.3, ls3.3what is the significance of dna replication during the s phase of the cell cycle?○ it allows daughter cells to have dna that differs from the parental dna.○ it allows daughter cells to have an exact copy of the parental dna.○ it allows daughter cells to grow in size before they can enter cell division.○ it allows daughter cells to produce the cell organelles needed for life processes.

Explanation:

DNA replication in the S phase creates an identical copy of the parent cell's DNA. This ensures that when the cell divides, each daughter cell receives a full, exact set of genetic material, which is critical for maintaining genetic consistency and proper cell function.

Answer:

B. It allows daughter cells to have an exact copy of the parental DNA.
