Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements that are true with respect to DNA replication are:

A. DNA replication is semiconservative.

D. The cell leaves S phase with two copies of each of its chromosomes.

DNA replication can be defined as a semiconservative biological process, through which two (2) identical replicas of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules are produced from an original deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule, especially during cellular division.

Hence, DNA replication is a semiconservative biological process which involves the duplication of a double-stranded DNA to produce two (2) identical deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules i.e one (1) original and one (1) new strand.

We can deduce the following points from the above:

DNA replication is a semiconservative biological process.

During the S phase, the cell leaves with two (2) identical replicas of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules i.e two (2) copies of each of its chromosomes.

but you didn't state your statements so I can't really tell what statements you had.
