Question

cell cycle and specialization - b.6a, b.6b
6 which statements below describe what is occurring in the diagram?
select two correct answers.
the parent dna strand is separating.
two parent dna strands are combining.
cellular enzymes allow new nucleotides to match to and pair with the exposed nucleotides.
parent dna replicates itself after separating.
new nucleotides copy the dna sequences from the exposed parent dna

Explanation:

The diagram shows the process of DNA replication. The double - helix structure of DNA is unwinding, which means the parent DNA strand is separating. After separation, new nucleotides match and pair with the exposed nucleotides to replicate the parent DNA.

Answer:

The parent DNA strand is separating.
Cellular enzymes allow new nucleotides to match to and pair with the exposed nucleotides.
