Question: Which of the following statements about DNA replication is true?

Options:

  1. It is a conservative process
  2. It is a semi-conservative process
  3. It is a dispersive process
  4. It occurs only in prokaryotes

Correct Answer: It is a semi-conservative process

Solution: 

DNA replication is a semi-conservative process, meaning each new DNA molecule consists of one old strand and one new strand.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements about DNA replication is true?
  • Step 1: Understand that DNA is made up of two strands that are twisted together, forming a double helix.
  • Step 2: Know that during DNA replication, the two strands of the DNA molecule separate.
  • Step 3: Realize that each original strand serves as a template to create a new strand.
  • Step 4: Recognize that after replication, each new DNA molecule has one original (old) strand and one newly made strand.
  • Step 5: Conclude that this process is called 'semi-conservative' because half of the original DNA is conserved in each new molecule.
