What are the products of semiconservative replication for a double-stranded DNA molecule? A) Two double-stranded DNA molecules, each consisting of one parental strand and one daughter strand. B) One double-stranded DNA molecule, consisting of two daughter strands. C) Two double-stranded DNA molecules, one consisting of two parental strands and the other consisting of two daughter strands. D) One double-stranded DNA molecule consisting of one parental strand and one daughter strand.

Step 1
Each of these single strands serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. This results in two double-stranded DNA molecules, each containing one original (parental) strand and one newly synthesized (daughter) strand. Show more…

Choose the CORRECT statement about semiconservative replication of DNA. a. One of the strands of each daughter DNA molecule is newly synthesized, whereas the other is passed unchanged from the parent DNA molecule. b. There is one daughter double-stranded DNA molecule, which is identical to the parental one. c. Each daughter DNA molecule is single-stranded and identical to the parent DNA molecule. d. Daughter double-stranded DNA molecules are identical to the corresponding parental ones. e. Two daughter DNA molecules are double-stranded and differ from the parent.

Semiconservative replication implies that Group of answer choices A) Each of the new double stranded DNA molecules contains one of the original intact strands and one completely new strand. B) One of the new double stranded DNA molecules contains both of the original strands, while the other contains two new strands. C) Each of the new double stranded DNA molecules contains strands that are composed of segments of original and newly synthesized material. D) None of these.
