  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003017",
  "term": "Deoxyribonucleic acid replication",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The biological process by which a cell makes an exact copy of its entire deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule. This semi-conservative process involves unwinding the double helix and synthesizing two new complementary strands from each original strand. It is a fundamental process for cell division and the inheritance of genetic information.",
