During the replication of DNA molecules _____.?

A) both strands of a molecule act as templates





B) the reaction is catalyzed by RNA polymerase





C) errors never occur





D) only one strand of the molecule acts as a template





E) the cell undergoes mitosis

During the replication of DNA molecules _____.?
during DNA replication many things happen but the best answer would prob ably be d because only one strand is replicated and during this process, the complementary strand is added and the markers are paired off (a,t)(g,c) thus creating the double helix. it cannot be a as a new strand is being created to complement the other , it also cannot be c or b because RNA is not a catalyst but it checks the DNA as it is replicating for any mistakes which could cause genetic mutation or it could cause fatality (death)
Reply:D.
