Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which process involves DNA replication?
A
binary fission
B
both
C
mitosis
D
none
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During DNA replication, one new strand (the leading strand) is made as a continuous piece. The other (the lagging strand) is made in small pieces. DNA replication requires other enzymes in addition to DNA polymerase, including DNA primase, DNA helicase, DNA ligase, and topoisomerase.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA replication, also known as semi-conservative replication, is the process by which DNA is doubled. This is an important process taking place within the dividing cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both DNA Replication and Transcription involve the generation of a new copy of the DNA in a cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Most of the time when people refer to “cell division, ” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells.
