Replication of DNA <= thank you to our first charter member of the tautology club...
i kid, i kid.
the question is very wide in scope.
from a cellular perspective, the replication of DNA is the process by which cells transfer their genetic material from one generation to another.
on a slightly smaller scale, the replication of DNA is a process by which the internal mechanisms of cells match the component pieces of DNA (called nucleotides) together in rapid succession. the matching process takes place after specialized proteins in the cell bind to a strand of DNA and split the two strands of the DNA molecule. different specialized proteins match the component nucleotides as the proteins move down the strand of DNA and edit mistakes if any are made.
hope this helps some.
What else can I help you with?
What disorder that is characterized by abnormal replication of cells lead to the formation of tumors?
Cancer is the disorder characterized by abnormal replication of cells that can lead to the formation of tumors.
Where does DNA replication take place in humans?
DNA replication takes place in the nucleus of human cells.
How does DNA replication differ between mitosis and meiosis?
In mitosis, DNA replication occurs once, resulting in two identical daughter cells. In meiosis, DNA replication occurs twice, resulting in four genetically diverse daughter cells.
What is permissive and non permissive cells?
Permissive cells are capable of supporting the replication of a virus, whereas non-permissive cells are unable to support virus replication. In permissive cells, the virus can enter, replicate, and exit to infect other cells. Non-permissive cells may lack the necessary factors or receptors for the virus to complete its replication cycle.

DNA replication and transcription occur in the what?
DNA replication and transcription occur in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, replication and transcription occur in the cytoplasm.
Where is replication usually located?
Replication typically occurs in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell and the cytoplasm of a prokaryotic cell. In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication takes place in the nucleus, while in prokaryotic cells like bacteria, replication occurs in the cytoplasm.
How does the process of DNA replication allow for daughters cells to have an exact copy of parental DNA?
replication
How does the structure of chromosomes in prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells affect the DNA replication processes in a cell?
In prokaryotic cells, which have a single circular chromosome, replication initiates at a single origin of replication and proceeds bidirectionally until the entire chromosome is copied. In contrast, eukaryotic cells have multiple linear chromosomes that replicate from multiple origins of replication simultaneously. The linear nature of eukaryotic chromosomes poses challenges during replication, such as the need to overcome end-replication problem and preserving telomeres.
What disorder that is characterized by abnormal replication of cells lead to the formation of tumors?
Cancer is the disorder characterized by abnormal replication of cells that can lead to the formation of tumors.

What is the medical term meaning replication of cells or two identical cells are produced from a parent cell?
The medical term for the replication of cells or the production of two identical cells from a parent cell is "mitosis." It is a fundamental process in cell division that ensures growth, development, and tissue maintenance in multicellular organisms.
Why is DNA replication?
The replication of DNA forms new DNA which form new cells when put in the cells of new nucleus's. The body continuously needs to produce new cells through mitosis for growth and repair and therefore without DNA replication these new cells would not be able to be made, which are needed in the human body.

In mitosis, DNA replication occurs once, resulting in two identical daughter cells. In meiosis, DNA replication occurs twice, resulting in four genetically diverse daughter cells.
How many chromosomes are in sex cells after DNA replication?
There are 23, so when sexual reproduction acurrs the fetus will have 46
What is the agent that prevents the replication of neoplastic cells?
Chemotherapy is commonly used to prevent the replication of neoplastic cells by targeting and destroying rapidly dividing cells. These agents work by interfering with cell division and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.
What is permissive and non permissive cells?
Permissive cells are capable of supporting the replication of a virus, whereas non-permissive cells are unable to support virus replication. In permissive cells, the virus can enter, replicate, and exit to infect other cells. Non-permissive cells may lack the necessary factors or receptors for the virus to complete its replication cycle.
