Question

Consider the process that a cell uses to replicate its double-stranded DNA to make copies for daughter cells which statement describes the DNA in the daughter cells?

A)The double helix in one daughter cell consist of two strands that were originally in the parent cell while the double helix and the other daughter cell consist of two newly made strands
B)The two strands of the double helices in a both daughter cells consist of segments of the new and parental DNA
C)The double helices in each daughter cell consist of one parental strands and one newly made strand

Answer 1

During DNA replication, each new double strand consists of one parental strand and one new daughter strand.

Step-by-step explanation:

During DNA replication, each of the two strands that make up the double helix serves as a template from which new strands are copied.

The new strand will be complementary to the parental or "old" strand.

Each new double strand consists of one parental strand and one new daughter strand.

This is known as semiconservative replication.
