DNA replication is the biological process through which a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA. This process is essential for cell division and is crucial for inheritance, growth, and repair in living organisms. Here’s a brief overview of how DNA replication occurs: 1. **Unwinding**: The double helix structure of the DNA is unwound by enzymes called helicases. This creates two single strands of DNA, which serve as templates for replication.
