Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduce replication

Replication is the process by which a double stranded DNA molecule that is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. This is the process by which the genome's DNA is copied in cells.

There mainly three stages of DNA replication that are initiation, elongation and termination.

One of the strands of DNA in each of the two copies of DNA is ancient and conserved while the other that is newly produced at the moment of replication.
