Example:
Imagine trying to make a duplicate of a beloved family recipe so you can share it with your sister. Just like you carefully copy down each ingredient and step to ensure she can recreate the dish exactly as it is, cells meticulously replicate their DNA before they divide, ensuring each new cell has the same genetic instructions. In this analogy, the family recipe is akin to DNA, the act of writing it down is similar to DNA replication, and just as you ensure your sister has the complete recipe, cells ensure each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material.

Replication: The process of copying DNA before cell division is called replication. Replication is when a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA to pass on to a new cell.
