In science, we learned how DNA replicates. DNA replicates during interphase. When DNA replicated, it splits down the middle like a zipper does. After it splits down, you have two strands of DNA. Then to fill in those empty spots, floating nucleotides in the cytoplasm fill in those spots. It has to match with the old DNA. For example, if cytosine is there, then guanine fills in that spot. After that happens you get two new DNA helixes.
    What I learned was how DNA replicates. One scientist named Erwin Chargaff made Chargaff's rules. The rules state that adenine always pairs up with thymine. Guanine always pairs up with cytosine. Then mitosis happens after interphase is completed.
