Why does reduplication belong to template synthesis reactions?

As we know, in the reactions of matrix synthesis, the structure of the newly synthesized polymer is completely determined by the structure of the matrix. Reduplication (replication) is a doubling of a DNA strand, which occurs due to a complementary interaction between the nucleotides of the maternal and newly synthesized DNA strands. The mother’s DNA strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new strand. The structure of the daughter DNA chain depends on the composition of the nucleotides in the mother.
