During replication of DNA, each separated parent DNA strand acts as ___________.
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
During DNA replication, the double helix unwinds and the two strands separate. Each separated parent DNA strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new, complementary strand. This process ensures that each new DNA molecule consists of one old (parental) strand and one newly synthesized strand, which is the basis of semi-conservative replication.
