Question

How are two identical DNA molecules formed

Answer 1

Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin. Several enzymes and proteins then work together to prepare, or prime, the strands for duplication. Finally, a special enzyme called DNA polymerase organizes the assembly of the new DNA strands. The following description of this three-stage process applies generally to all cells, but specific variations within the process may occur depending on organism and cell type.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA is a double stranded molecule. When DNA is copied the two strand of DNA (old strands) separate and new nucleotides match up with the two separated strands. This process creates two identical double stranded DNA molecules are formed. Each DNA molecule contains one strand of the original DNA molecule and one newly synthesized (made) strand.
