During replication of DNA
A
RNA functions as template
B
One daughter receives both the parental strands while the other daughter receives newly formed strands
C
The two daughter molecules develop from both the parental strands
D
One strand from parent and one strand freshly formed in the two daughter molecules
Correct option is C. One strand from parent and one strand freshly formed in the two daughter molecules
A. Correct option -C
B. Explanation for correct option -C
- DNA replication or its multiplication is the process of producing two identical replicas from one original DNA molecule.
- This biological process occurs in all living organisms and is the basis for biological inheritance.
- DNA is made up of two strands and each strand of the original DNA molecule serves as a template for the production of the complementary strand.
- This mode of replication is called a semiconservative method of replication.
