<human>: Can you explain the process of DNA replication?
<bot>: The process of DNA replication is a complex one. It involves two strands of DNA being copied in order to produce two identical copies of the original strand. During this process, known as DNA synthesis, each nucleotide (the building blocks of DNA) is added to the growing strand by specialized enzymes called polymerases. These enzymes work together with other proteins to copy the genetic information contained within the DNA strands. After the new strand has been synthesized, it is separated from the original and then the two strands are allowed to re-combine to form double stranded DNA.
