The answer is DNA replication process.

Explanation:

Before reproduction takes place it is necessary to replicate all the DNA of the cell so that the new cell carries its own copy of the genetic material. The structure of the DNA molecule makes replication easier. Each side of the double helix is replicated in opposite directions. The DNA replication process is the mechanism that allows DNA to duplicate. In this way of a single DNA molecule, two or more "replicas" of the first and last are obtained.
