The correct response is:
**The cell must copy its genetic information before it divides.**
This is because the S phase (Synthesis phase) of the cell cycle is when DNA is replicated, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical set of genetic information after mitosis (M phase). Without this replication, the daughter cells would not have the same amount of genetic material as the parent cell.
