when it is damaged (through the process of mitosis). DNA replication occurs when single-stranded chromosomes replicate in order to create double-stranded chromosomes, essential in creating daughter cells. It is necessary as in order for a zygote to undergo growth, double-stranded chromosomes are required, however when gametes are made they are single-stranded, requiring DNA replication to produce double-stranded chromosomes. It also enables for variation in species to exist, through meiosis. This
