DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) copying is an essential part of reproduction as it passes
genetic information from parents to offspring. It determines the body design of an
individual. The reproducing cells produce a copy of their DNA through some chemical
reactions and result in two copies of DNA. The copying of DNA always takes place along
with the creation of additional cellular structure. This process is then followed by division
of a cell to form two cells.
