Answer:

The process of making a copy of gene is called DNA replication.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a four step process. In first step, the DNA molecule which is double helical structure is unzip. This is carried out by enzyme called helicase which is also called biological scissors. Then after that DNA form Y like structure having complementary base pairs. Two strands are formed ; leading strand and lagging strands. They complementary base pairs allow the formation of new strands with help of primer. So new strand is then a copy of gene or called replicated strand.
