Review the process outlined below. What will be the result if the replication process is followed as described?

  1. DNA separates into two strands
  2. The nitrogenous bases on the original strands code to arrange the new strands 3. The separated DNA builds new complementary strands

AThe RNA sequence will begin.
BThe base hydrogen bonds will be broken.
CTwo new complementary strands of DNA will be built.
DTwo new base pairs will be built.

i'm sure C is a correct answer :) because question is about a result

Answer:

The correct answer will be option C (Two new complementary strands of DNA will be built).

Explanation:

DNA replication is a process by which a cell makes exact copies (replicas)  of its genetic material or DNA. DNA replication takes place during the S-phase or synthesis phase of the cell division.

DNA replication is complex process in which two strands of DNA are separated by an enzyme called helicase which melts hydrogen bond between two base pairs.Then, separated strand in 3'-5' direction polarity  acts as a template strand or leading strand while 5'-3' direction acts as lagging strand.

New complimentary strands are formed by an enzyme called DNA polymerase which adds new nucleotides to the growing DNA chain by forming hydrogen bond between complimentary base pairs. Therfore, from ds-DNA molecule, two new complimentary strands are formed making exact copies of the DNA. This method is known as semi-conservative replication.

Hence, option C-two new complementary strands of DNA will be built is the correct answer.
