Question

which best describes the outcome of dna replication?
the new dna molecule is identical to the original dna.
the new dna molecule is synthesized from amino acids.
the new dna molecule has a different number of codons.
the new dna molecule is single - stranded.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a process where a double - stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. DNA is made of nucleotides, not amino acids. The number of codons remains the same after replication as it is based on the genetic information which is conserved. DNA is double - stranded after replication (except during the process itself at certain stages).

Answer:

The new DNA molecule is identical to the original DNA.
