Overview
of DNA DNA replication is a vital process in all organisms that results in the faithful duplication of the genetic material. It occurs before cell division in order to ensure that the two daughter cells that are generated contain the same genetic information as the parent cell. During replication, the two strands of DNA are split apart and each single strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new double-stranded molecule. This new double-stranded molecule contains one of the original strands and a newly synthesized strand. Replication of DNA is essential for the accurate and faithful transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next and is a vital part of the principles of inheritance. It is also a heavily studied process in genetics and biochemistry and is the basis of many technologies that are used to detect, analyse and manipulate genetic material.
