This process is called replication and happens in mitosis and meiosis.
Making a copy of DNA is called semi-conservative replication. It is a biological process which takes place in the genome of a cell.
Cloning
DNA synthesis or DNA replication
When an error occurs in making a copy of DNA, we call it a mutation.
Mutation
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
It is important for cell to copy DNA without making mistake because the DNA contain genetic code in the form of nucleotide base pair sequence, if those sequence get wrong then the DNA code for wrong gene i.e. there will be a mutation which can be lethal or dangerous.
Nuclear transfer
Ribonucleic acid
asexual reproduction
The shape of a DNA molecule is called a double helix.
The DNA molecule within the cell contains the instructions for making a copy of the cell through the process of DNA replication. This process involves unwinding and unzipping the DNA double helix and creating two new strands using complementary base pairing.
