  "term": "Microbial DNA Replication",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "1. The process by which a DNA molecule is duplicated.\n\n2. The use of existing DNA as a template for the synthesis of new DNA strands. In humans and other eukaryotes, replication occurs in the cell nucleus.\n\n3. DNA replication is the process by which a molecule of DNA is duplicated. When a cell divides, it must first duplicate its genome so that each daughter cell winds up with a complete set of chromosomes.",
