DNA is copied in a process called DNA replication. During DNA replication, the two strands of the DNA molecule separate. Then free DNA nucleotides pair with their complimentary nucleotides according to the base-pairing rule on each of the old strands of DNA. Once the process is complete, the result is two identical DNA molecules, each with one old strand of DNA and one new strand of DNA. Refer to the related link for an illustration.

Process by which DNA copies itself?

Replication! 1) DNA splits 2) DNA copies 3) left with 2 copies of DNA! :)


What is amplification when referring to DNA synthesis?

Amplification is the production of many copies of a particular DNA segment. The copying repeats - so that copies of the copies are made. This results in many, many copies in only a few cycles. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is the most common method of amplifying DNA.


If you compare the original DNA to the two copies that are made after replication occurs what would you find?

Unless mutation occur the two copies of DNA that are made after replication are identical to its original form. Thus continuous replication of DNA in the chromosomes does not alter its nature.


What is one way that can occur in a DNA sequence?

Mutations (point mutations, inversions, translocations...) cause changes in DNA Simply stated, a mistake made while DNA copies causes changes in DNA.

What is a method of making any copies of DNA?

One method of making copies of DNA is through a process called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In PCR, a DNA template is mixed with primers, nucleotides, and DNA polymerase, and subjected to cycles of heating and cooling to amplify the target DNA region. This results in millions of copies of the DNA target.
