Question

The cellular process of creating two new DNA molecules from one original copy is called replication. Which statement is the BEST description of this process?

Answer 1

DNA opens up and each strand is used as template for a new strand.

Answer 2

Replication is the copy of the cell's DNA when the cell divides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each double DNA helix chain is a template for the synthesis of a new complementary chain by DNA polymerases (enzymes that produce the new DNA), using a primer (initiator) and other necessary enzymes to continue the whole process.
