DNA replication occurs before a cell divides in mitosis. It is the process of copying the entire genome of a cell to be used in a new daughter cell. Transcription is the process of making a temprary RNA copy of a portion of the DNA.  This messenger RNA or MRNA can then be translated into a particular protein.

.  Sometimes, during the process of replication, the DNA code is copied incorrectly, and an incorrect nucleotide is attached to the new strand of DNA.

There are several proofreading mechinisms to intended to prevent errors but the, cell does everything in it's power to prevent errors in replication but some still do occur.  They can eventually become part of the genome as a mutation if they are left uncorrected.
After replication, how much of each DNA molecule is compoed of the original DNA?

DNA is said to be semi-conservative meaning that 1 strand is conserved from the original double stranded molecule and one is newly created.
i need to grow a quanity of high end brain matter to install in the femail unit i have constructed that is using bionics. it needs to be learned to use four arms and two legs. i can work any part by nerve stimulation at present and since my unit is very high end, the brain needs to have a buildable/learning curve. the blood i use is for the time being is salt solution mixed with a blood susitute. i desire it to assume a combat related role if i can get reliable results.
