• DNA replication also known as DUPLICATION OF DNA or Biosynthesis of DNA, is a fundamental biological process that ensures the accurate duplication of genetic material before cell division.
• DNA duplication is the process by which a DNA molecule gets exactly doubled, producing two daughter molecules, which are identical to the parent molecule.
• It occurs during the interphase of cell cycle
• It involves a complex array of enzymes and proteins that work in concert to create two identical copies of the original DNA molecule
• DNA replication is catalysed by the enzymes DNA polymerases
• This synthesis always occurs in the 5'→3' direction
• DNA replication involves more than 20 enzymatic reactions, and requires a DNA template, RNA primer, and four kinds of deoxyribonucleotide phosphates (dATP, dGTP, dCTP and dTTP)....
