Explanation:
The purpose of DNA replication is to produce two identical complete sets of chromosomes, which for humans is
Mitosis is the process by which two identical sets of chromosomes are separated and moved into what will become two identical daughter cells. Each daughter cell will have one complete set of chromosomes
DNA replication, mitosis, and cytokinesis are the means by which organisms grow and replace dead or dying cells.
