Question

During replication, is the original dna sequence maintained in the new strands? explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer:

During replication, is the original dna sequence maintained in the new strands.

Explanation:

DNA replication begins at one end of the double strand of DNA. The replication fork will open as the two old tapes (initial molecule) unfold in the front, while two new tapes will be synthesized below and in turn will wind in the old tapes; forming two new double strands of DNA, each containing a new strand and an old strand. For this reason, we can say that yes, during replication, the original DNA sequence is kept in the new strands.

Answer 2

Hello!

During replication, DNA sequence is maintained in the new strands

The reason for it is the action of DNA Polymerase. This is an enzyme who has the function of "proofreading" the DNA sequence to ensure that all nucleotides are in the right order. This process is so accurate that an incorrect base is introduced every 10⁹-10¹⁰ bases.
