The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Synthesis of identical copies of DNA is called," we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Terms First, we need to understand the terms provided in the options: transcription, replication, translation, and reverse transcription. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Option - **Transcription**: This is the process where RNA is synthesized from a DNA template. It does not involve making copies of DNA. - **Replication**: This is the process of making identical copies of DNA. During replication, the DNA molecule unwinds and each strand serves as a template for the formation of a new complementary strand. - **Translation**: This is the process where proteins are synthesized from RNA. It does not involve DNA synthesis. - **Reverse Transcription**: This is the process of synthesizing DNA from an RNA template. It is the opposite of transcription. ### Step 3: Identify the Correct Answer From the analysis, we see that the only option that involves the synthesis of identical copies of DNA is **replication**. ### Conclusion Therefore, the synthesis of identical copies of DNA is called **replication**. ### Final Answer **Replication** ---
