Question

1 multiple choice 20 points what is the primary purpose of dna replication in a cell? to produce energy for the cell. to generate rna molecules. to repair damaged proteins. to create an exact copy of the dna before cell division.

Explanation:

DNA replication occurs before cell division to ensure that each new cell gets an identical copy of the genetic material. Energy - production is mainly through processes like cellular respiration, RNA is generated through transcription, and protein repair is a different cellular mechanism.

Answer:

To create an exact copy of the DNA before cell division.
