La synthèse d'un ADN double brin aboutit à la formation de deux molécules hybrides constituées d'une chaîne parentale et d'une chaîne complémentaire; ces deux molécules hybrides sont identiques l'une à l'autre et à la molécule parentale. Lors du processus de réplication, la double chaîne parentale se sépare en deux brins et chaque brin sert alors de modèle pour la synthèse du brin complémentaire. L'appariement strict de A à T et de G à C garantit une reproduction fidèle. 1, record 9, French, - ADN%20double%20brin
