Replikáló

Replikáló is a term that can refer to a few different concepts, primarily in biology and computer science, all relating to the process of making copies or duplicates.

In biology, a replikáló is an enzyme responsible for DNA replication. This process is essential for cell division and the transmission of genetic information. The replikáló unwinds the DNA double helix and synthesizes new DNA strands, ensuring that each new cell receives a complete set of genetic material. Without active replikáló, life as we know it would not be possible.

In computer science, "replikáló" can refer to a program or system designed to duplicate data or software. This is commonly seen in database replication, where identical copies of a database are maintained on different servers. This can improve performance, provide redundancy, and facilitate disaster recovery. In the context of self-replicating programs, a replikáló might refer to a piece of code that can make copies of itself, a concept explored in theoretical computer science and sometimes associated with computer viruses. The term emphasizes the active duplication process.
