The survival of any cells depends on the metabolic activities carrying place in the cell which involves the proteins and enzymes for the process to occur. These proteins are encoded by the DNA which are said to be responsible for the carrying of the genetic information of the cell. Thus, the maintenance of these DNA is ensured by the DNA replication.

DNA is the prime source of biological molecule which is involved in forming the living beings. And this phenomenon occurs by the cell division in which one cell divides to produce two daughter cells that consists of the required genetic information. One of the well-recognized activity followed by the DNA is that the “DNA Replication” which is the process of the one DNA strand to form duplicate of the other DNA strand is necessary for the keeping the integrity of the DNA molecule.

The DNA is said to be the hereditary material carrier of the any living beings. DNA stands for the deoxyribonucleic acid and is nearly same in every cell of the human body. It’s one of the greatest ability is to replicate and form the new strands which are complementary to the parent DNA strand or the template DNA. The location of the DNA is always determined to be in the nucleus but some small amount is also present in the mitochondria and in plants, it’s also present in the choroloplast. The mitochondria is the cell organelle which is responsible for the energy production in the cell whereas, chloroplast are the cell organelle in plants which are responsible for the pigmentation of the plant leaves in turn involved in the photosynthesis.
