Self-replication

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Self-replication is any process by which a thing might make a copy of itself. Biological cells, given suitable environments, reproduce by cell division. During cell division, DNA is replicated and can be transmitted to offspring during reproduction. Biological viruses can reproduce, but only by commandeering the reproductive machinery of cells through a process of infection. Computer viruses reproduce using the hardware and software already present on computers. Self-replication in robotics has been an area of researched and a subject of interest in Science Fiction.
