Two strands of DNA produced during replication are copies of each other because each strand in the double helix is ___________.
A. identical
B. complementary
C. continuous
D. connected

Respuesta :

A.identical or
B. complementary

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. complementary.

The two strands of the DNA molecule are always complementary to each other.

Complementary means that purine will always make a bond with a pyrimidine.

More specifically, adenine always makes a bond with thymine and guanine always makes a bond with cytosine.

Due to this nature and semi-conservative replication, the two strands of DNA produced during replication are copies of each other.
