The purpose of DNA replication is to ensure that a complete and accurate copy of the genetic material is passed on to each daughter cell during cell division. This process is essential for growth, repair, and reproduction of cells. During DNA replication, the two strands of the DNA double helix are separated and used as templates for the synthesis of new complementary strands. By the end of the replication process, two identical DNA molecules are produced, each consisting of one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. This ensures that the genetic information remains consistent across generations of cells.
