A DNA mirror repeat is a sequence segment delimited on the basis of its containing a center of symmetry on a single strand and identical terminal nucleotides. For example, in the sequence below, TACACG is the mirror image of GCACAT.

<---------- ---------->

5'- T A C A C G G C A C A T -3'

3'- A T G T G C C G T G T A -5'

Imperfect DNA mirror repeats (IMRs) are less than 100% symmetrical.

What does DNA replication make?

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.
