Question

Which statment best summarizes the

Answer 1

Answer:

Two DNA molecules, containing the same genetic code as the original DNA molecule, are produced.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a very important process that must occur in every living cell prior to cellular division. It is the process by which a DNA molecule makes another copy of itself i.e. duplicates itself, to form two identical molecules of DNA.

In the process of DNA replication, the double-stranded molecule first unwinds to form two single strands of DNA. Each DNA strand serves as a template for making another complementary strand of DNA. At the end of replication, each copy of DNA molecule contains one new strand and one old strand. Both copies contain the same genetic code as the original DNA molecule.
