How many daughter strands are formed during the replication of DNA?

Short Answer

Expert verified

AS per explanation, during DNA replication, two daughter strands are generated that are identical to the parent DNA molecule

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

Daughter strands are formed during DNA replication,

  • During DNA replication, two daughter strands are generated that are identical to the parent DNA molecule.
  • Each strand of parent DNA served as a template, and DNA polymerase used it to create two daughter DNA strands.
02

Explanation 

  • Nucleic acids are organic macromolecules that are present all over the cell. They were first discovered in the nuclei of cells.
  • The nucleic acids DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are found in all known forms of life.
  • Cells generate an identical copy of the DNA molecule by replication, which is a natural process.
  • The strands of the parent DNA molecule separate during replication to allow complementary DNA strands to be synthesised.
