Without DNA, cells would not function and yet alone code for proteins. DNA replication allows the cell to make an identical copy and then when it under goes cell division, each cell gets one copy. Therefore allowing both cells to function, and the cycle repeats until the telomeres on chromosomes run out.

Replication makes exact copies of the DNA for the new cells made during cell division.

DNA must replicate in order for cells to divide.
