DNA replication is the process in which two identical strands of DNA are formed. It is significant as it allows large amounts of genetic information to be passed on through generations. New variations are possible if the code changes. If this change is favourable it will enable survival and continuity of the species, in turn allowing the species to evolve suitable to it's particular environment.
Most offspring resemble their parents in a number of characteristics, but there are often some characteristics in the offspring that are unexpected.
Explain, using examples, how genetics and the environment can effect the phenotype of individuals.
