DNA replication, the basis for biological inheritance, is a fundamental process occurring in all living organisms to copy their DNA. This process is "replication" in that each strand of the original double-stranded DNA molecule serves as template for the reproduction of the complementary strand. Hence, following DNA replication, two identical DNA molecules have been produced from a single double-stranded DNA molecule. Cellular proofreading and error-checking mechanisms ensure near perfect fidelity for DNA replication. by: Denfol Gevero

Is DNA transcription another word for DNA replication?
i believe transcription is the copying of DNA and rna and replication is the actual work being done by everything in the cell to replicate
What is another word for recombinant DNA?
Another Word for DNA is very simple it is Deoxyribonucleic Acid. Also DNA is a easy way to identify things about yourself. Many police and scientist use DNA to solve Murders or Crimes and also Mysteries
In your own words write a definition for the word mutation?
mutation: a change in the sequence of DNA to cause a unusal trait
DNA transcription is another word for DNA replication?
No, transcription and replication are different. DNA replication is the process where one double helix of DNA is duplicated into two identical double helixes which are also identical to the mother DNA. RNA transcription is the process by which a messenger RNA copy of the active strand of a DNA helix is created.I hope that helps.
In your own words define the word nucleotide?
A nucleotide is a sub-unit of DNA
How does the cell replicate DNA?
Cells do not replicate "In DNA". Cells replicate their DNA during the process of cell division.
What sites separate and replicate in DNA?
replication forks separate and replicate DNA
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not a characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule?
A characteristic of a DNA molecule that is not characteristic of a protein molecule is that the DNA molecule can replicate itself.
What stage DNA replicate?
S Phase of Interphase
How does the DNA replicate?
sperm
Where does DNA replicate?
in the ribosome
Is DNA transcription another word for DNA replication?
i believe transcription is the copying of DNA and rna and replication is the actual work being done by everything in the cell to replicate
Does DNA replicate itself?
Yes
Why can't red blood cells reproduce?
They have no Nucleolus so Therefor there's no DNA to Replicate.
Why must cells be able to both transcribe and replicate their DNA?
The DNA only needs to replicate if the cell is going to divide. In a dividing cell the DNA must replicate in order to provide a complete copy of the genome to each new cell.
What is the rule of DNA polymerase in replication?
DO NOT replicate it
Is it true mitochondria are able to replicate themselves?
Yes they have own DNA. So they replicate by their own
