DNA synthesis is basically DNA replication (copying) its where they match ones DNA and copy's it to where someone else can have the exact same DNA strand. Almost like having a twin but not being related. Its pretty much forcing the same DNA by using science.

Synthesis means creation. Therefore DNA synthesis is the creation (or copying) of DNA. This occurs before cells divide in order to create copies of the DNA.
