When the chromosome replicates, how is the newly made strand related to its template strand?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the chromosome replicates, the newly made strand is complementary to the template strand, and the two strands are antiparallel to each other. This means that the new strand runs in the opposite direction to the template strand. The bases on the new strand form base pairs with the complementary bases on the template strand (A with T, and C with G), resulting in two identical daughter molecules. This is known as semi-conservative replication.
