quzilet Which of the following occurs when DNA is replicated? Group of answer choices One strand of the parent DNA is preserved; the other is destroyed. The two strands of the parent DNA are separated and then recombined before being passed on to the daughter cell. The two strands of the parent DNA are separated, and two daughter DNA strands are formed. Each of the two strands of parent DNA is reordered through the process of linkage, adding significant variation to the daughter cells.

Ricardo Marks · Answer 1

The two strands of the parent DNA are separated, and two daughter DNA strands are formed.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a complex process which replicates or produces new DNA molecule from the parent DNA molecule mediated by enzymes and ATP.

The mechanism of DNA replication is known as the semi-conservative mode in which one new strand of DNA is synthesized complementary to the one strand of DNA. To form a new DNA molecule both the strand of the DNA gets separated and then a new daughter strand is formed complementary to each parent strand.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
