Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which events take place in DNA replication?I. Formation of messenger RNAII. Unwinding of DNA double helixIII. 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.

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: -The separation of the two single strands of DNA creates a ‘Y’ shape called a replication ‘fork’. The two separated strands will act as templates for making the new strands of DNA.
