Question

Because the original strand of the double-stranded helix is found in each daughter cell, the replication process is called

• A. Proof reading
• B. Semiconservative
• C. Freeing of DNA
• D. Mutation positive

Answer 1

The correct option is B Semiconservative

DNA replication is semiconservative because half of the original DNA strand is conserved during the replication and a new strand is formed by using the half original strand as a template. Each daughter cell receives one of the strands from the double-stranded helix of DNA.

So, the correct option is 'semiconservative'.
