    DNA Replication DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA. The initiation of DNA replication starts with two steps. First an initiator protein unwinds a short stretch of the DNA double helix. Then a protein called helicase attaches to and breaks apart the hydrogen bonds between the bases on the DNA strands‚ pulling apart the two strands. DNA replication starts when one double-stranded DNA molecule produces two identical copies of the molecule
