Before the cell divides, 2 DNA strands must be available so that genetic
information can be passed along to the daughter cells. Which statement
below best describes DNA replication?
O Genetic information is passed along to mRNA which takes the code out of the nucleus.
O Genetic information is passed along to an entirely new strand of DNA that is formed from the
original strand.
Genetic information is conserved by the formation of 2 identical strands that each have part of the
original molecule.
Genetic information is conserved when the nucleotides are separated from one DNA molecule are
reassembled into another DNA molecule.
