Answer:

Like what is said above ( which is correct ) each strand in the DNA double helix acts as a template for the synthesis of a new, complementary strand

Step-by-step explanation:

Like said above:

We know that each strand in the DNA double helix acts as a template for the synthesis of a new, complementary strand

because 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.
