Wilson Barrett · Answer 1

True.

Explanation:

DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself during cell division. Each strand of the original DNA molecule then serves as a template for the production of its counterpart. It is also a biological process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule.

Rocco Cochran · Answer 2

Answer: FALSE.

Explanation: DNA is is double stranded molecule. upon replication, two new strands are formed with are each anti - parallel to the original strands. so the amplification is exponential.

so one DNA molecule will give rise to an identical molecule. further replications give rise to several copies of the same molecule in an exponential manner.
