Question

Duplication of DNA is called
(a) Transduction
(b) Translation
(c) Replication
(d) Chromosome

Answer 1

The duplication of DNA is called replication. In molecular biology, the DNA replication basically is a biological process in which, the double stranded DNA molecules are copied in order to produce two identical DNA molecules.

Replication is really an essential process because when a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.
