Detailed explanation-1: -The result of DNA replication is two DNA molecules consisting of one new and one old chain of nucleotides. This is why DNA replication is described as semi-conservative, half of the chain is part of the original DNA molecule, half is brand new.
Detailed explanation-2: -The enzymes involved in DNA replication act in a coordinated manner to synthesize both leading and lagging strands of DNA simultaneously at the replication fork (Figure 5.11). This task is accomplished by the formation of dimers of the replicative DNA polymerases (polymerase III in E.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is accomplished by the process of DNA replication. The replication of DNA occurs during the synthesis phase, or S phase, of the cell cycle, before the cell enters mitosis or meiosis.
