Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

DNA is copied during a process called ____ which results in an identical copy of itself.

A	Photosynthesis
B	Transcription
C	Replication
D	Translation

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. DNA replication is the process by which the genome’s DNA is copied in cells. Before a cell divides, it must first copy (or replicate) its entire genome so that each resulting daughter cell ends up with its own complete genome.

Detailed explanation-2: -During every cell division, a cell must duplicate its chromosomal DNA through a process called DNA replication. The duplicated DNA is then segregated into two “daughter” cells that inherit the same genetic information.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA replication occurs during the S phase (the Synthesis phase) of the cell cycle, before mitosis and cell division. The base pairing rules are crucial for the process of replication. DNA replication occurs when DNA is copied to form an identical molecule of DNA.
