Explanation:

DNA replication duplicates the entire DNA content (genome) of a cell before cell division, ensuring each daughter cell gets a complete set of genetic information. Protein synthesis makes proteins, cellular respiration produces energy, and transcription is part of gene - expression to make RNA from DNA, none of which ensure the entire genome is in each daughter cell for cell division.

Answer:

DNA replication
