In DNA replication,
A)parental DNA shatters into pieces and joins with newly-synthesized pieces to fashion two double helices from one.
B)parental DNA remains intact but guides formation of new double helices.
C)the parental DNA splits and free nucleotides bond to their complements,building two DNA molecules from one.
D)an entirely new double helix is built using information in the sequence of amino acids.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During DNA replication, the parental DNA strands separate and free nucleotides pair up with their complementary nucleotides on the template strand, building two identical DNA molecules from one. The parental DNA serves as a template or guide for the new DNA synthesis rather than shattering into pieces or creating an entirely new double helix.
