Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which events take place in DNA replication?I. Formation of messenger RNAII. Both strands act as templatesIII. Formation of complementary strands by DNA polymerase
A
I and II only
B
I and III only
C
II and III only
D
I, II and III
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synthetic phase or S-phase of interphase, is the stage of cell cycle where DNA synthesis or replication takes place.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the key molecules in DNA replication is the enzyme DNA polymerase. DNA polymerases are responsible for synthesizing DNA: they add nucleotides one by one to the growing DNA chain, incorporating only those that are complementary to the template.
