Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

The new DNA strand formed after DNA replication is an exact copy of its parent strand. True of False?

A	True
B	False

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -The leading strand is the strand of new DNA which is synthesized in the same direction as the growing replication fork.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following statements regarding DNA replication is false? Explanation: The only false statement is that DNA replication of the lagging strand is continuous.

Detailed explanation-4: -Once the DNA has been replicated, two DNA molecules are formed in which one being the same as the parent and the other one being a newly synthesized strand. The cell can now further undergo division and each daughter cell gets the copy of DNA same as the parent cell.
