Answer:

DNA replication

Stage one

The DNA is unwound and unzipped. The helix structure is unwound. Special molecules break the weak hydrogen bonds between bases, which are holding the two strands together. This process occurs at several locations on a DNA molecule.

Stage two

DNA polymerase will add the free DNA nucleotides using complementary base pairing (A-T and C-G) to the 3’ end of the primer this will allow the new DNA strand to form. Adenine pairs with thymine, thymine with adenine, cytosine with guanine and guanine with cytosine. A primer is needed to start replication.

Answer: The copied DNA will be the same as the original strand since the purpose of the DNA copy is to make another copy. If you mean the complementary strand, this will be ACTTACGCCGAT.
