2
Q
DNA Replication
A
The two parent strands
separate and a new
complementary strand is
built for each
3
Q
What do the new molecules from DNA Replication consist of
A
The new molecules consist of
one parent strand and one
new strand

Q
DNA Replication consists of 3 steps:
A
1.Parental strands of DNA separate
2.Complementary strands are assembled
3.New strands are proofread and repaired
