Why does DNA replicate?

Because it contains the genetic information of every organism

Explanation:

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the hereditary material mainly located in the cell's nucleus, therefore the DNA's replication is the basis for biological inheritance.

I hope you find this informaion useful and interesting! Good luck!

DNA is like the instruction manual for building and operating a cell.

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated (duplicated.) Because the two strands of a DNA molecule have complementary base pairs, the nucleotide sequence of each strand automatically supplies the information needed to produce its partner.
