(N/A) The growth of any organism occurs through cell division. During the growth phase,it is essential for the structural components and the genetic material $(DNA)$ to increase so that the newly formed cells receive the same amount and type of genetic material as the parent cell.
For this,the number,type,and sequence of nucleotides in the newly synthesized $DNA$ molecules must be identical to those of the original molecule.
