    The document describes the two-step replication mechanism of nucleic acids. 1) The original nucleic acid molecule acts as a template to make a complementary copy. 2) This template then makes additional copies through the same base-pairing and ligation process, allowing exponential growth in the number of molecules. Precise base-pairing and hydrogen bonding between nucleotides drives the copying of genetic information from the original to new molecules.
