Here is a Answer to your question:

DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.

Hello There!!

DNA also known as Deoxyribonucleic Acid is a double stranded macromolecule. The two strands of DNA are complementary to each other. For replication, the DNA double helix opens at one end, making the two strands free to which new strands begin to form and the process continues in a sequence for the whole length of the DNA.

Hope this helps
