The correct answer is: B.In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.

Explanation:

Before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis, it is crucial to replicate its DNA so that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material. This ensures that both cells maintain the correct amount of DNA and have the same genetic information, which is vital for proper functioning and inheritance.

1.Mitosis: In somatic cells, the replicated DNA ensures that both daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell.

2.Meiosis: In germ cells (like sperm and eggs), DNA replication is necessary so that each gamete receives half the geneti...
