DNA replication results in two new DNA molecules.Each of these new molecules

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During DNA replication, each new DNA molecule contains one strand of nucleotides from the parent DNA and one newly synthesized strand of nucleotides. This is known as semi-conservative replication. It ensures that each daughter DNA molecule contains one original strand and one newly synthesized strand, which helps to maintain the genetic information and fidelity of DNA replication. Option B is incorrect because both new strands cannot be newly synthesized. Option C is incorrect because a single strand of nucleotides cannot form a complete DNA molecule. Option D is incorrect because the new DNA molecules are complete copies of the original. Option E is incorrect because both strands cannot be from the parent.
