Question

Why must cells be able to both transcribe and replicate their DNA?
A. New cells can only be created after transcription has taken place.
B. Replication creates new DNA while transcription creates mRNA
C. The cell's DNA must be transcribed before it can b replicated
D. Transcription can be used when a cell is unable to replicate

Answer 1

B is your answer

Answer 2

If a cell could only transcribe their genetic information into proteins, they wouldn't be able to reproduce. If cells could only replicate their genetic information but lacked the ability to make any proteins out of that information, they'd be completely useless.

Answer 3

So is it B?
