Copying of information in DNA is also known as DNA replication.
Not sure if that's what you're looking for so lmk.

Answer:Each strand of the double helix carries a sequence of bases, arranged something like letters in a four-letter alphabet.
DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself during cell division. The first step in DNA replication is to 'unzip' the double helix structure of the DNA? molecule. ... The separation of the two single strands of DNA creates a 'Y' shape called a replication 'fork Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin. Several enzymes and proteins then work together to prepare, or prime, the strands for duplication. Finally, a special enzyme called DNA polymerase organizes the assembly of the new DNA strands. The following description of this three-stage process applies generally to all cells, but specific variations within the process may occur depending on organism and cell type.

DNA replication is the process in which DNA makes a copy of itself before a cell divides. This involves unwinding the DNA, separating the strands, and using each strand as a template to synthesize new complementary strands. The result is two identical double helices, each containing one original strand and one new strand.
