DNA replication occurs during the synthesis (S) phase of mitosis with the use of different replicating factors such as DNA Helicase. It starts the replication by "unzipping" and separating the two helices of DNA (DNA is made up of a double helix, like a twisted ladder). Each strand is duplicated individually with the use of DNA Polymerase. This is called semi-conservative replication because the new DNA created is one strand half old, and one strand half new. It adds nucleotides across from the old strand, matching A-T, and G-C. By the end of the S phase, the cell is getting ready to divide completely (mitosis or meiosis). Mitosis results in exact duplicates whereas crossing over, a.k.a. synapsis, occurs during Prophase 1, or diplotene, in the meiotic process.
A more detailed description is best found in a Molecular Biology textbook or a Cell Biology textbook.

What is the process of breaking larger molecules into smaller molecules called?
The process of breaking down complex food material and converting it into simple organic form is called digestion.
What two molecules are produced when two glucose molecules are chemically bonded together?
When two glucose molecules are chemically bonded together, they form a water molecule and sugar maltose. This process is called dehydration synthesis.
What is the process that forms double sugars?
Its when two monosaccharide molecules can chemically join to form a double helix therefore forming a molecular bond which is consider a isomerism.
WHAT organic molecules form the major structural materials of the body?
The organic molecules form proteins for the body.
What is respiritation?
Cellular respiration is the process of breaking food molecules such as glucose to carbon dioxide and water. The energy that is released is trapped in the form of ATP for the cell to later use.
In boiling water water molecules move apart and escape in the form of water vapor. The process is called what?
The process is just called boiling. At the boiling point, the water molecules spread out to form steam. Water vapour can form at any temperature, and that process is evaporation.

What is solvated?
process of solvent molecules surrounding and interacting with solute ions and molecules
What is the name of the process that occurs when small molecules are joined to form macromolecules?
Dehydration reactions
What is the process by which simple molecules combine chemically to form more complex molecules is?
Condensation Reaction.
What is the process of breaking larger molecules into smaller molecules called?
The process of breaking down complex food material and converting it into simple organic form is called digestion.
Is it a chemical reaction when a substance changes its form?
The change of form in not a chemical process; it is only a physical change, the molecules remain unchanged.
What happens in the process called addition polymerisation?
a chemical reaction in which simple molecules are added to each other to form long chain molecules without by products
What is the Form of transport that uses transport proteins to move other ions and molecules across the plasma membrane?
This process of transportation might be diffusion. Diffusion, by definition, is the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas where there is a high concentration of molecules to an area where there is a low concentration of molecules. I'm in my cell and genetics chapters of science as well...
In boiling water water molecules move apart and escape in the form of water vapor . the process is called?
evaporation
What are the molecules in fire?
In a chemical process, the molecules rearrange themselves. Energy is either released or absorbed. The process in a fire is called oxidation, where oxygen atoms combine with hydrogen and carbon to form waterand carbon dioxide. Oxidation is the same chemical process that turns iron into rust.
Combined atoms form what?
Well, they can form molecules. Molecules join together to form elements. Elements join together to form compounds.
