Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- Replication.
DNA replication is a biological process in which two identical replica of DNA are produced from single original DNA molecule through an enzyme called as DNA polymerase.
The two strands of double helical DNA are first separated ( with the help of helicase enzyme) so that the template DNA strands are exposed. In other words, the two strands are broken apart and attract new nucleotide bases to synthesize a new and complete strand of DNA.
This is done by DNA polymerase according to Watson and Crick base pairing ( A pairs to T, G pairs to C)
