True or False: DNA molecules are
semiconservative because both strands
are made from completely new nucleotides

Respuesta :

Answer: False

Explanation: each daughter DNA molecule consists of one strand from the parent DNA molecule  and one new strand.

It is false that DNA molecules are semi-conservative because both strands are made from completely new nucleotides.

DNA REPLICATION:

  • DNA replication is the process by which DNA molecule is copied into two identical copies of itself.

  • Prior to DNA replication, the double-stranded molecule is first separated into two single strands. Each strand is used to synthesize a new DNA strand.

  • This pattern of DNA replication is called semi-conservative DNA because each DNA molecule contains a newly synthesized strand and an old strand.

  • Therefore, It is false that DNA molecules are semi-conservative because both strands are made from completely new nucleotides.
