    GlossaryDNA synthesis (DNA replication)

    process of creating an exact copy of DNA

    DNA synthesis, also known as DNA replication, is the process by which a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA. This is crucial for cell division, allowing each new cell to have the same genetic information as the parent cell. The process involves unwinding the double helix, using each strand as a template to build a new complementary strand, and is facilitated by enzymes like DNA polymerase.
