Reproduction
D
Replication
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell. Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. To accomplish this, each strand of existing DNA acts as a template for replication.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA replication occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells and in the nucleoid region in prokaryotic cells. DNA replication occurs in S phase during the cell cycle prior to cell division.

Detailed explanation-3: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, DNA is not always perfectly copied during DNA replication.
