6) before mitosis begins, a cell makes a copy of the dna in the nucleus. what term is used to describe this process of making an exact copy of the dna? a) duplication b) fertilization c) hybridization d) replication

The answer is D) replication.

Replication is the process by which a cell makes a copy of the DNA. It's important for cells to replicate to account for all the splitting of cells that occurs. This happens so new cells can be created.
