Before the cell divides, 2 DNA strands must be available so that genetic information can be passed along to the daughter cells. Which statement below best describes DNA replication?

The two strands of DNA will be used as a template for the manufacture of two new DNA molecules.

Explanation:

The process of making new DNA molecules is called replication.

Before explaining replication, it is important to keep in mind that a DNA molecule is made up of two strands of DNA that are complemented by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases. In order for replication to begin, the DNA strands are unwound and separated from each other by enzymes.

Each strand will serve as a template for making another DNA strand. Thus, a single DNA molecule gives rise to two DNA molecules, during replication.

Answer:as the question is incomplete (no statement) but inshort DNA must replicate that is It makes copy of it's own strand so as to form in a new cell (transfer hereditary material)
