NEET Botany DNA Replication MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about DNA replication is correct?
DNA replication is a semi-conservative process where each new DNA molecule consists of one original and one newly synthesized strand.
DNA replication requires RNA as a template for synthesizing new DNA strands.
DNA replication occurs in a single direction, resulting in the formation of a single strand.
DNA replication can occur without the involvement of enzymes such as DNA polymerase.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct as DNA replication is indeed semi-conservative, which means each new DNA molecule has one old strand and one new strand. The other statements are incorrect; DNA does not use RNA as a template for its replication, it does not occur in a single direction, and enzymes are essential for the replication process.
