The figure depicts the results of an experiment to determine how DNA replication occurs. What is the apparent composition of each DNA molecule after replication?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The figure shows a semi-conservative model of DNA replication, which suggests that after replication, each DNA molecule consists of one old DNA strand (yellow) and one newly synthesized DNA strand (green). This is further supported by the fact that the old DNA strands serve as a template for complementary base pairing and the synthesis of new DNA strands during replication.
