  • After three bouts of replication, how many new molecules of

    The 2 separated strands will not come back together during subsequent bouts of replication, and will be continually be separated from newly formed DNA strands to be used as a template to make even more DNA strands.

  • DNA and inheritance

    The structure and mechanism of replication of DNA makes it an idea material for inheritance because no DNA material is lost during replication and any errors during replication can be corrected by using the original strand as a template.

  • Genetic variability and DNA replication

    As a result, the simple answer to this question is that changes to DNA during replication, where DNA is unzipped into separate strands and a new strand made to pair up with each of the original strands, can often lead to crippling, sometimes fatal results
