Morphology

nonreplication = replication (transparent) = non + replication

In biological contexts 'non-' + 'replication' straightforwardly indicates absence or prevention of replication (e.g., of DNA), so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Nonreplication comes from non- meaning 'not' and replication meaning 'to copy' or 'to repeat'. In biology a nonreplication means DNA, cells, or viruses are not copying themselves, which can stop disease or cell growth.
