Solution

DNA Replication: The process by which DNA duplicates itself during cell division is known as DNA replication.

  1. Replication is a biological process that makes an exact copy of something, like a polynucleotide strand (DNA).
  2. All living things replicate their DNA, which is the primary mechanism for biological heredity.
  3. In addition to ensuring that each new cell receives a copy of the DNA, it is important for cell division during tissue growth and repair.
  4. The replication of DNA is an enzyme-catalyzed process.

Final answer: Yes replication occurs in all cells.
