How long does it take for a strand of DNA to replicate itself?
It takes about an hour for a strand of DNA to replicate itself. Because human DNA is so very long (with up to 80 million base pairs in a chromosome) it unzips at multiple places along its length so that the replication process is going on simultaneously at hundreds of places along the length of the chain.
