1609 - What is the replication of genetic information?

Replication of genetic information is like making a copy of a blueprint.

Imagine your body's instructions are written in a special book called DNA (short for Deoxyribonucleic acid). When cells in your body divide and grow, they need a copy of those instructions to know what to do.

Replication is the process of making an exact copy of the DNA book. It's like photocopying a document, but with special helpers in the cell that make sure the copy is perfect.

This way, the new cell gets a complete set of instructions and can do its job correctly.
