DNA is copied (or replicated) by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. This enzyme generally operates in the 3' to 5' direction. However, this enzyme also has a 5' to 3' exonuclease activity, which enables it to remove certain wrong bases and insert correct ones. This ensure that the DNA is copied correctly
