The molecular details of DNA replication are probably similar in all organisms on Earth. The basic process of replication involves polymerizing, or linking, the nucleotides of DNA into long chains, or strands, using the sequence on the other strand as a guide. Because the nucleotides must be made before they can be put together into DNA, the nucleotides are an essential precursor of DNA synthesis.
