Thus when a cell divides, its DNA must pass on genetic information to both daughter cells. It must somehow be able to divide into duplicate copies. This process is called replication.

- https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Biological_Chemistry/Supplemental_Modules_(Biological_Chemistry)/Nucleic_Acids/DNA/The_Replication_of_DNAThis page takes a very simplified look at how DNA replicates (copies) itself. It gives only a brief over-view of the process, with no attempt to describe the mechanism.
