process of making a copy
The act of making an exact copy of something.
Vartosenos šablonas:
the replication of [something]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use *replication* when they simply mean *reply* or *answer*. *Replication* is about copying or repeating something, not about responding in conversation.
Sinonimai
copying (A very general everyday word that covers making any copy, not only exact or formal ones.)
|
duplication (Slightly more formal; often used when stressing that two things are the same.)
Antonimai
creation (Focuses on making something new, not copying what already exists.)

copying of DNA or viruses
The process in biology where DNA, a virus, or a cell makes an exact copy of its genetic material.
Vartosenos šablonas:
the replication of [DNA / a virus / cells]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse *replication* with *mutation*. *Replication* is the copying process; *mutation* is a change that may happen during that process.
Sinonimai
reproduction (More general; can mean producing new organisms, not just copying genetic material.)
|
proliferation (Focuses on the rapid increase in number, not specifically on the copying mechanism.)
Antonimai
inactivation (Used when viruses or cells are stopped from working or copying themselves.)

3
repeating a study or experiment
When scientists do the same study or experiment again to check if the results are the same.
Vartosenos šablonas:
replication of [a study / an experiment]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes think *replication* in this context means copying someone else’s work in a dishonest way. In research, it is a positive, planned repeat of a study to test results, not plagiarism.
Sinonimai
repetition (A broad word for doing something again; in science, *replication* is more specific and method-focused.)
|
reproducibility (Refers to the quality of results that can be obtained again, not the actual act of running the new study.)
Antonimai
non-replication (Used in research to describe a case where repeated studies do not show the same effect.)

a copy of an object or work
A thing that is made to look and be almost the same as another thing.
Vartosenos šablonas:
a replication of [an object / a work]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use *replication* instead of *replica*. *Replication* is the process or the result; *replica* is the usual word for the copied object itself.
Sinonimai
reproduction (Commonly used for copies of art, photos, or printed material.)
|
replica (The most common word for a 3D copy, especially of objects or buildings.)
Antonimai
original (Refers to the first, authentic work that a replication is based on.)
