Actually it doesn't.
There are lots of proteins in the nucleus that do all the work. The beauty of DNA is that it acts as its own decoder (it forms a mirror image, but since a DNA strand consists of two mirror images the result is two copies).

How does a DNA molecule make a exact copy of itself?
they break apart and they find other DNA strands and form more DNA strands.
True or false Before a DNA molecule can replicate itself it must make itself more compact This is accomplished by the double helix coiling up on itself?
true
What part of the cell cycle does the DNA make a copy of itself?
interphase
How does DNA make itself more compact?
wrapping tightly around associated proteins
When is DNA duplicated and why is DNA duplicated?
DNA is replicated in the process called Mitosis and Meosis. DNA is replicated to make more cells. Your body will make cells if you have a cut, grow, etc..
What DNA code can make a copy of itself?
A gene is the DNA code that can make a copy of itself.
Which DNA code can make a copy of itself?
The universal DNA code can make a copy of itself.
How does a DNA molecule make a exact copy of itself?
they break apart and they find other DNA strands and form more DNA strands.
How would DNA make itself more compact?
Acetylation is the compacting of a DNA molecule, making it more compact and reduces its ability to be transcribed.
Why is it necessary for a virus to invade a living cell to make copies of itself?
Since viruses are nonliving they have to invade and hijack a living cells DNA to make more copies of itself. If it cannot do this it cannot make more copies of itself.
How does DNA make sure it does NOT make a mistake when copying itself?
DNA Transcriptase's proofreading ability.
Who does DNA make copies of itself?
meosis
True or false Before a DNA molecule can replicate itself it must make itself more compact This is accomplished by the double helix coiling up on itself?
true
When does DNA make a copy of itself?
during interphase
How does DNA replicate make a copy of itself?
Meiosis
What has to happen in order for DNA to make copy of itself?
interphase
DNA copies itself?
Sort of. Many books describe it that way. It would be more accurate to say that a system of RNA's and proteins uses a strand of DNA as a template to make a copy.
