Question

what is the result of dna replication? dna is stored in the cell membrane dna is copied to be passed on to new cells dna is deleted from the cell

Explanation:

To determine the result of DNA replication, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect because DNA is stored in the nucleus (in eukaryotes) or nucleoid (in prokaryotes), not the cell membrane.
• The second option is correct. DNA replication is the process by which a DNA molecule makes an identical copy of itself. This copied DNA is then passed on to new cells during cell division (e.g., mitosis or meiosis) to ensure that each new cell has the same genetic information as the parent cell.
• The third option is incorrect. DNA replication does not delete DNA from the cell; instead, it creates more DNA.

Answer:

B. DNA is copied to be passed on to new cells (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with the second option as B; if the original options had different labels, adjust accordingly. Based on the given options, the correct one is "DNA is copied to be passed on to new cells".)
