The cellular metabolic process whereby new strands of DNA are synthesized. The template for replication can either be an existing DNA molecule or RNA. A developmental process by which a progressive change in the state of some part of an organism specifically contributes to its ability to form offspring. The cellular component assembly that is part of the initial shaping of the component during its developmental progression. The construction of a chorion-containing eggshell. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. Construction of the chorion portion of the eggshell, which comprises the channels for gas exchange in an insect eggshell. Amplification by up to 60-fold of the loci containing the chorion gene clusters. Amplification is necessary for the rapid synthesis of chorion proteins by the follicle cells, and occurs by repeated firing of one or more origins located within each gene cluster. The process by which the number of copies of a gene is increased in certain cells as extra copies of DNA are made in response to certain signals of cell development or of stress from the environment.
