Question

a parent dna molecule replicates, resulting in two daughter dna molecules. which of the following is true?
oa. each daughter molecule contains two new strands of dna.
ob. each daughter molecule contains four total strands of dna
oc. each daughter molecule contains one dna strand from the parent molecule
od. each daughter molecule contains two dna strands from the parent molecule

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

DNA复制是半保留复制(semiconservative replication)。在DNA复制过程中,亲代DNA分子的两条链解开,每条链作为模板合成新的互补链。这样新形成的两个子代DNA分子中,每个子代DNA分子都包含一条亲代DNA链和一条新合成的链。

  • 选项A:每个子代分子包含两条新链,这不符合半保留复制的特点,因为子代分子是一条亲代链和一条新链,所以A错误。
  • 选项B:每个DNA分子是双链结构,不是四条链,所以B错误。
  • 选项C:符合半保留复制,每个子代分子包含一条亲代链,所以C正确。
  • 选项D:每个子代分子是一条亲代链,不是两条,所以D错误。

Answer:

C. Each daughter molecule contains one DNA strand from the parent molecule
