In both mitosis and meiosis, DNA is copied (replicated) before either process can happen. Use what you have learned about the structure of DNA to propose a mechanism that can turn one DNA strand into two.</p><p>7. Research DNA replication, and then compare and contrast your proposed mechanism for DNA replication to that described in the textbook you are using. </p><p>Your Proposed Mechanism DNA Replication in Textbook</p><p>8.
