A. Replication
During replication, the DNA molecule unwinds and separates into two strands. Each strand serves as a template for the creation of a new complementary strand. Enzymes called DNA polymerases add nucleotides to the new strand, based on the template provided by the original strand. This process results in two identical copies of the original DNA molecule. Replication is essential for the transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next.
