What is the importance of DNA copying in reproduction?

Solution

The information for inheritance of features from parents to the next generation is in the form of DNA molecules. DNA found in chromosomes in the nucleus of the cells has the information for making proteins which lead to body design of an organism. Different proteins lead to altered body designs. Thus to ensure similar body design the DNA needs to be copied in reproduction.
