Detailed explanation-2: -DNA Replication | Biology Quiz-Quizizz. Q. A process in which DNA has the unique ability to make an exact copy of itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The DNA polymerase binds to single-stranded DNA after the Helicase has unwound the DNA and begins the polymerization process. It makes two identical copies of a parental DNA molecule by adding complimentary nucleotides to a resultant DNA molecule.

Detailed explanation-5: -DNA must replicate (copy) itself so that each resulting cell after mitosis and cell division has the same DNA as the parent cell. All these cells, the parent cell and the two new daughter cells, are genetically identical.
