DEFINE:What is replication?
A
process in which DNA is copied
B
when the nucleus divides
C
a type of photosynthesis
D
final stage of the cell cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -How is DNA replicated? Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin.

Detailed explanation-3: -: copy, reproduction. : the action or process of reproducing or duplicating.

Detailed explanation-4: -Repetition is when a single word or phrase is used multiple times in short succession for effect. It can help emphasise a point. For example, ‘I have to practice my times tables over so I can learn them’ vs ‘I have to practice my times tables over and over and over again so I can learn them.
