Does during DNA replication only one strand of DNA serve as a template?

No. All strands can be replicated, just depends on where the enzymne decides to land and unzip it. Anyways, all DNA molecules would be adequate templates since they are all identical copies of each other.

In DNA replication DNA nucleotides serve as a template and a new DNA molecule is made also ---------strandes if DNA serve as templates?
Lagging strand
Explain the function of replication?
DNA replication requires the opening of the 'zipped up' DNA strand. This is so a 'new' strand of DNA can be inserted and have a template strand to 'read' off. DNA polymerase analyses the bases on the template strand and adds each complementary base to synthesise the 'new' strand. In order for DNA polymerase to be able to do this the DNA has to be opened up by helicase to reveal the bases of the template strand. The unzipping of the DNA by helicase forms the replication fork. Thus the function of the replication fork is to reveal template strands for DNA replication to actually occur.
Why are proteins considered good candidates as the molecule of genetics?
They cannot serve as a template for replication
Which event takes plac first during DNA replication?
7:00 pm.
How are DNA and RNA replicated?
During interphase.
What takes place during DNA replication?
The DNA double helix unwinds, & the two separated strands each serve as a template for a complementary strand to be synthesised

What is the new strand called in Dna replication?
semiconservative replication - original DNA double strand will unwind into 2 strands, so one original strand will serve as a template for synthesizing a new complementary strand , thus forming a new DNA (one with old strand and one with a new strand)
Is The lagging strand the strands of parental DNA?
which statement about dna replication is correct? A. the leading strand is one of the strands of parnetal Dna b. the leading strand is built continuously, and the lagging strand is built in pieces c. the lagging strand is one of the strands of parental Dna d. Dna ligase helps assemble the leading strand e. the lagging strand is built continuously
What is the name of the DNA replication process that produces two identical DNA molecules each consisting of one parent strand and one daughter strand?
I'm not an expert on this subject but as I've learned, DNA is split into two replication forks where the complimentary base pairs and other backbones are added on, so ideally it would be 50% of the original strand in each daughter strand.
Why are proteins considered good candidates as the molecule of genetics?
They cannot serve as a template for replication
Why are proteins not considered to be a good candidate for the first living molecule?
They cannot serve as a template for replication.

How does DNA template dictate the sequence of the RNA produced?
During transcription the DNA double helix is separated into two individual strands. Each strand may serve as a template for RNA polymerase, which travels along the DNA structure in a 3' to 5' direction. As it progresses down the strand, RNA polymerase synthesizes a pre-messenger RNA strand that is complementary to the sequence on the DNA template. For example if the DNA sequence on the template was 5' ATACA 3', then the pre mRNA sequence synthesized would be 3' UAUGU 5'. (Remember, RNA synthesis utilizes the nucleotide uracil instead of thyamine).
How are DNA and RNA replicated?
During interphase.
What happens to the 2 pieces of DNA after DNA replication?
Immediately after replication (S phase of a cell), the cell enters G2 phase and then the M phase (division of the cell). During division, specifically anaphase, the 2 pieces of DNA (chromatics) are separated from one another.
