Question

which of the following statements about dna replication is false?
multiple choice
the newly synthesized dna is packaged into one nucleus, and the original dna is packaged into another nucleus.
each existing strand is used as a template for making a new strand.
the two strands are separated.
synthesis of both new strands is in the 5 to 3 direction.

Explanation:

DNA replication is semi - conservative. The two strands of the original DNA separate, and each serves as a template for the synthesis of a new strand. New DNA strands are synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction. After replication, each new DNA molecule consists of one old strand and one new strand, not that the newly synthesized DNA is packaged into one nucleus and the original DNA into another.

Answer:

The newly synthesized DNA is packaged into one nucleus, and the original DNA is packaged into another nucleus.
