Question

why does dna need to be in a tightly condensed shape for cell division?
to be easily destroyed
to allow lipid access
to move it more easily
to keep it in the nucleus

Explanation:

During cell division, DNA condenses into chromosomes. This compact form allows for easier movement and distribution of genetic material to daughter cells. It is not for being easily destroyed, allowing lipid access, or just keeping it in the nucleus.

Answer:

to move it more easily
