Which of the following is NOT true about DNA replication? a. It must occur before a cell can divide b. Two complementary strands are duplicated c. The double strand unwinds and unzips while it is being duplicated d. The new DNA molecule has two newly-made strands

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) It must occur before a cell can divide

Explanation:

The following is NOT true about DNA replication - d. The new DNA molecule has two newly-made strands.

DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself during cell division.

  • Unzipping the DNA molecule separates the two single strands of DNA creates a 'Y' shape called a replication 'fork'.
  • The two separated strands will act as templates for making the new strands of DNA.
  • Each complementary strand is duplicated during the process of unzipping.
  • Each template strand forms a new DNA molecule with one parent strand and one newly formed DNA strand.

Thus, The following is NOT true about DNA replication - d. The new DNA molecule has two newly-made strands.
