biological replication

Biological replication is the natural process by which cells produce identical copies of their genetic material, ensuring each new cell has the same instructions to function properly. During reproduction, a cell's DNA duplicates itself, creating two identical sets. This process is fundamental for growth, repair, and maintaining the balance of tissues in an organism. In simple terms, replication is like copying a document so every new cell has the same blueprint, allowing life to continue smoothly and accurately from one generation of cells to the next.
