replication
Aussprache: [ˌrɛp.lɪˈkeɪ.ʃən]
Kontext: „biology“
(noun) the process of making an exact copy of something, like DNA. In living things, replication happens when cells divide and create new cells that are just like them.
Beispiel
The replication of DNA is essential for life because it allows cells to grow and replace themselves.
Beispiel
Without replication, the cell would not be able to produce new cells, which can lead to problems.
Beispiel
How does the process of replication ensure that each new cell is identical?
Kontext: „technology“
(noun) the act of copying data or files in computers or systems. It helps to keep information safe and available in multiple places.
Beispiel
The replication of data to the cloud helps protect against data loss.
Beispiel
If there is no replication of the files, losing your work would be a real risk.
Beispiel
What methods do we use for the replication of important data?
Kontext: „research“
(noun) the repetition of a study or experiment to see if the same results can be achieved again. This is important to confirm that results are accurate and reliable.
Beispiel
The replication of the experiment showed the same results, which increased scientists' confidence in the findings.
Beispiel
The study's results were not confirmed by replication, which made the original findings questionable.
