The making of DNA from DNA is called Replication or Duplication.

[{"selector":"#anim-142d973c-4a4c-404e-8837-02524def33bf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-19db05c4-8276-4fb9-94de-1741f4f0133a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-be859529-ee39-4e87-bb24-29cc5871467c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 163.00232%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

According to scientists Meses and Stan, Replication in DNA is always semi-conservative.

[{"selector":"#anim-20a48530-19dc-49e4-a0a4-993b8fe0ecef [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c6c2113b-34dd-4200-ab35-0bc06c0e0d40","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ed0406ef-b909-4fa4-baeb-de62b417e1d1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 147.75990%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is three types. conservative Semiconservative dispersive

Replication in DNA is always in the 5'-3' direction.

[{"selector":"#anim-fe8312ec-4e76-4341-bc74-654287566491 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cadc18f3-66b3-4f80-834d-fa6567721537","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-76dd5f77-1cad-4f9c-94c3-36f28e26910f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 223.31511%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This Replication of DNA is Semi Conservative or Bidirectional.

Synthesis of DNA is continuous on one thread from both the strands of DNA, these are called Leading Strand.

[{"selector":"#anim-9d266427-c11d-4699-9f58-ad5781d474b3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-761bc9b9-87e2-4292-baa9-bfd8f5d0657c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3f5a8ba2-cdef-487f-89ea-fc45be9c26cc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 137.32193%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

When DNA is synthesized in the form of small fragments on the second strand of DNA.

[{"selector":"#anim-13960b59-909a-4a88-a64b-0e27f878c397 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8d1af986-c835-4846-b2b9-4950ca5d6cba","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cfb9e932-723e-4352-8abc-a38c05be5541","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 146.14697%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

These segments are called Okazaki segments. This thread of DNA is called Leading Strand.
