Replicates are measurements of samples with the same conditions for the study variables that differentiate them within your analysis.

Biological replicates are derived from different biological samples. They are repetitions of an experimental condition that allow you to estimate the variability associated with the phenomenon.
Technical replicates are derived from the same biological sample. They are repeated measurements of the same item that allow you to calculate measurement errors. The application deals with biological and technical replicates differently in data analysis.
