DNA

REPLICATION How do cells make a copy of their DNA? Conservation of the

genetic code. When cells make copies of their DNA, the copying is

almost exact. However, a small number of mistakes may occur. We

call this a mutation. Why is DNA double-stranded? Isn’t that a

waste to have a gene written twice? Cells do this because it

allows copies to be made exactly & quickly.
