When a DNA molecule is replicated, the daughter molecules contain one strand of parental DNA and one strand of newly synthesized DNA; this is called __________ replication. A. hemikonserwatief / hemiconservative B. semikonserwatief / semiconservative C. konserwatief / conservative D. dispersief / dispersive
Question
When a DNA molecule is replicated, the daughter molecules contain one strand of parental DNA and one strand of newly synthesized DNA; this is called __________ replication. A. hemikonserwatief / hemiconservative B. semikonserwatief / semiconservative C. konserwatief / conservative D. dispersief / dispersive
Solution
The correct answer is B. semikonserwatief / semiconservative. This is because, during DNA replication, each of the two strands in the double helix acts as a template for a new strand. This results in two new DNA molecules, each composed of one original (parental) strand and one newly synthesized strand. This type of replication is therefore referred to as semiconservative.
