Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During DNA replication, new strands are synthesized using the parental DNA strands as templates. The parental strands are separated, and DNA polymerase enzymes are used to add complementary nucleotides to the new strands. The end result is the synthesis of two new, identical double-stranded DNA molecules, each containing one parental strand and one new strand. Therefore, all of these events occur during DNA replication except for the synthesis of totally new double-stranded DNA molecules.
