Whole-genome/next-generation

The first process is DNA replication This can extend to duplicating the whole genome. It occurs immediately prior to cell division and is necessary for the transfer of genetic information from one generation to the next. The fidelity of the copying process must be as high as possible. There is little room for errors in this process, as these will be copied perhaps trillions of times in the offspring. 

DNA replication is the process whereby a single copy is made of both strands of the whole genome in the cell. It is highly regnlated and is carried out once in the life of a cell, jnst before it divides. The fidehty of the copying process is paramoruit, as this is the template for the next generation of cell. The process is closely coordinated with cell division.
