Question
A new molecule has just been created by the full process of DNA replication. Where can you find the newly synthetized parts in this molecule?Both strands are new in this DNA molecule.In the strand of this RNA molecule.Both strands have a mix of new and old parts in this DNA molecule.One of the strands is fully new in this DNA molecule.None of the other answers is correct.
Solution
Both strands have a mix of new and old parts in this DNA molecule. This is because DNA replication is a semi-conservative process. During this process, the double helix of the parent DNA molecule separates into two strands. Each of these strands serves as a template for the synthesis of a new, complementary strand. Therefore, each of the resulting DNA molecules has one strand from the parent molecule and one newly synthesized strand.
