enyata [817]

Answer: After 3 rounds, 8 segments having 2 original strands on different segments will be present.

1st round:

Single piece of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) unwinds in two seperate strands, before complementary nucleotides are synthesized to establish double helix.

2nd round:

The two dsDNA yields 4 segments before complementary nucleotides are synthesized

3rd round:

The four dsDNA yields 8 segments before complementary nucleotides are synthesized.

Therefore, at the end of 3 rounds, the two original strands will be present on the 8 different segments of copied DNA.

Nostrana [21]
Osmosis is the diffusion of water. Water tends to diffuse to the area with a higher concentration of solute.
