Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA replication is the process of producing two identical copies of a DNA molecule. During replication, each original strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a complementary new strand. The new strands have nucleotides that are complementary to the original strands, following base-pairing rules (A with T and C with G). This results in two identical strands of DNA, each containing one original and one newly synthesized strand. Therefore, option B, "produces its complement," is the correct answer.
