La polimerasa copia las dos cadenas de una hélice bicatenaria de ADN, que puede contener un gen, y produce una molécula bicatenaria más. A continuación, copia las dos moléculas existentes, la nueva y la vieja, y produce una tercera y una cuarta. Las cuatro se doblan en ocho copias, y así sucesivamente. El número de hélices crece geométricamente. En pocas horas, el gen original se ha copiado millones de veces. 1, record 1, Spanish, - h%C3%A9lice%20bicatenaria
