Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for the genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells

• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus

• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size

• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells
