Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What determines the nucleotide sequence of the newly synthesized strand during DNA replication?
A
the particular DNA polymerase catalyzing the reaction
B
the relative amounts of the four nucleoside triphosphates in the cell
C
the nucleotide sequence of the template strand
D
the primase used in the reaction e. the arrangement of histones in the sugar phosphate backbone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is option c because the newly synthesized strand during DNA replication is complementary to the template strand and identical to the coding strand, the other strand of the original DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -The four types of nitrogen bases found in nucleotides are: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order, or sequence, of these bases determines what biological instructions are contained in a strand of DNA.
