Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The following events occur in the replication of DNA. 1 bonds between complementary bases break 2 bonds between complementary bases form 3 DNA molecule uncoils 4 opposite strands separate 5 sugar-phosphate bonds form 6 free nucleotides align with complementary nucleotides on each strand In which order do these events take place?
A
1 3 6 4 2 5
B
3 1 4 6 2 5
C
3 6 1 4 5 2
D
4 3 1 6 5 2
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -(i) Exposure of DNA strands. (ii) Synthesis of RNA primer. (iii) Activation of deoxyribonucleotides. (iv) Chain formation.
