Which of the following can self replicate (make a copy of itself)?
A
Glucose
B
DNA
C
Fatty Acid
D
Starch
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Biological cells, given suitable environments, reproduce by cell division. During cell division, DNA is replicated and can be transmitted to offspring during reproduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. DNA molecules provide what is probably the most iconic example of self-replication–the ability of a system to replicate, or make copies of, itself.

Detailed explanation-4: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is Worm. A worm is a computer programme that can self-replicate and propagate over the network with or without human intervention and has malicious intent. Its purpose is to secretly duplicate itself into other computers.

Detailed explanation-5: -The separation of the two single strands of DNA creates a ‘Y’ shape called a replication ‘fork’. The two separated strands will act as templates for making the new strands of DNA. One of the strands is oriented in the 3’ to 5’ direction (towards the replication fork), this is the leading strand?.
