Question

question 1 of 10 why is dna replication considered a semiconservative process? a. new dna molecules are built on the template dna as okazaki fragments, which are then cut away from the template strand. b. all new dna molecules are built on the same template strand, allowing the template to be used again. c. each resulting dna molecule contains one strand from the original molecule and one newly built strand. d. the sequence of each new dna strand is different from the sequence of the template strand, maintaining the uniqueness of each.

Explanation:

In semi - conservative DNA replication, the two strands of the original DNA separate. Each old strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. So, each new DNA molecule has one old and one new strand.

Answer:

C. Each resulting DNA molecule contains one strand from the original molecule and one newly built strand.
