replication
Producing identical versions
Replication is the act of copying or reproducing something.
In science, replication means repeating an experiment to verify results: The study's findings await replication.
In biology, DNA replication is how genetic material copies itself before cell division.
More broadly, replication can mean any duplication: replication of the original design, data replication across servers.
