How does DNA copy of itself?

DNA makes copies of itself through the process of replication. Because the nucleotide bases are complementary, they automatically make the other strand of complementary bases when the division of the cell occurs.

DNA replication. During this process, a DNA molecule makes a copy of itself by unwinding and separating into two strands, with each strand serving as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand.

The characteristic of DNA that allows it to make an exact copy of itself is its?

The characteristic of DNA that allows it to make an exact copy of itself is its ability to undergo replication. During replication, the DNA molecule unwinds and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand, resulting in two identical DNA molecules.


What DNA code can make a copy of itself?

DNA can make a copy of itself through a process called DNA replication, where the DNA molecule unwinds and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. The specific DNA code that enables this replication process to occur is the base pairing rule, where adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G).
