No. Although many proteins check the DNA for damage or errors, damaged regions
can still be replicated. This may result in gene alterations and serious complications
for the organism.
DNA replication begins in areas of DNA molecules are called origins of replication.
Prokaryotic DNA replication has a single origin of replication, leading to two replication forks. In contrast, eukaryotic DNA replication has multiple origins of replication, resulting in multiple replication forks forming along the DNA molecule.
DNA is copied during a process called DNA replication. This process occurs in the nucleus of a cell and involves making an exact copy of the original DNA molecule. DNA replication is essential for cell division and passing genetic information from one generation to the next.
DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand at the replication fork during the process of DNA replication.
DNA cannot replicate de novo (i.e. there must be a free 3' OH group to attach nucleotides to) Replication must go from 5' to 3' The two strands of DNA are antiparallel Complementary base pairing

Thymine and adenine are complementary base pairs in DNA replication. This means that thymine always pairs with adenine during the process of copying DNA. This pairing is essential for maintaining the genetic code and ensuring accurate replication of DNA.

DNA replication produces a copy of the DNA. At the same time the cell in which the DNA is to be found splits into two with a copy of the DNA in each. DNA replication is caused by cell replication during the process of mitosis.

DNA replication
The site of DNA replication in eukaryotes is the nucleus. Replication occurs in the nucleus because this is where the DNA is stored. The process involves unwinding the DNA double helix and synthesizing new strands of DNA using the existing strands as templates.
During DNA replication, replication bubbles form when the DNA double helix unwinds and separates into two strands. Enzymes called helicases unwind the DNA, creating a replication fork where new DNA strands can be synthesized. This process allows for multiple replication bubbles to form along the DNA molecule, enabling efficient and accurate replication.
