Solution

The false statement is:

a. Both strands of the DNA are used as templates for DNA replication

Explanation: In DNA replication, only one strand of the DNA is used as a template. The process of DNA replication is semi-conservative, meaning that each new DNA molecule consists of one old strand (the template strand) and one new strand. The new strand is synthesized according to the sequence of the template strand. The daughter DNA molecule is not single stranded; it is double stranded, with one strand being the original template strand and the other being the newly synthesized strand.

For normal replication of DNA in eukaryotes, which one of the following statements is most correct?Group of answer choicesA single strand copy of the leading strand is made first, and then a complementary strand is synthesised to form a new double helix. This is performed entirely by the enzyme DNA polymerase.In making two copies, each strand of the original DNA is used as a template (semiconservative replication). This is performed by DNA polymerase with assistance from several additional enzymes.In making two copies, each strand of the original DNA is used as a template (semiconservative replication).

QUESTION 8Why is DNA replication called semi-conservative? A. Only half of the parent DNA is conserved and the rest is discarded. B. Each daughter DNA molecule is composed of two  new strands of nucleotides. C. Each daughter DNA molecule is composed of one parental strand and one new strand. D. The DNA is dispersed within the parent strand.

During semiconservative DNA replication, Blank______.Multiple choice question.one of the new daughter double helices is made of the two original strands, while the other one is made of two new strandsrandom portions of each new double helix come from the original molecule or are newly synthesizedone of the strands in each new double helix comes from the original molecule, and one is newly synthesized

Because one of the two strands of a replicated DNA molecule is newly synthesized and the other is the original template, DNA replication is said to be a ______ process.Multiple choice question.recursiveconservativesemiconservativedispersive

Which statement about DNA replication is FALSE?View Available Hint(s)for Part EThe lagging strand is made of a series of pieces that must be joined together to make a continuous strand.DNA polymerase builds a new strand by adding DNA nucleotides one at a time.DNA ligase adds nucleotides to the lagging strand.Because the two strands of parental DNA run in opposite directions, the new strands must be made in different ways.The two strands of parental DNA are separated during DNA replication.
