cell.

According to observations of the
process, the cell has to reach a specific size
before dividing. The moment this particu-
lar size is exceeded, the process of division
begins in a programmed manner. The
shape of the cell begins flattening out, and
the DNA replicates itself.
The cell as a whole decides to divide,
and the different components within it be-
gin behaving in appropriately. Clear, how-

ever, cells by themselves are incapable of
managing such a collective task. The proc-
ess of division begins at Allah's command,
and all the components of the cell, espe-
cially DNA, act accordingly.
The DNA molecule, with its data-
bank of 3 billion letters, resembles a double
spiral staircase. When the replication proc-
ess begins, first an enzyme known as DNA
helicase arrives and begins opening up the
DNA helix, just like a zipper. As a result,
the two strips of the helix, formerly wound

around one another, separate. DNA heli-
case is always on duty at exactly the right
time and performs its work flawlessly,
never making a mistake that would cause
any harm to the DNA.
Once the DNA molecule has assumed
the form of two lengthy strips, the work is
now handed over to the enzyme DNA pol-
