At the end of DNA replication two new strands of DNA have been produced giving a total of?

Two new DNA chains are formed at the end of DNA replication, both identical in sequence to the template (or parent) chain. These chains are composed of 2 complimentary strands. It is important to note that of the newly formed DNA chains, one strand is the same as the template strand and the other one is a newly synthesized one.

Why does DNA have to have hydrogen bonds?

Hydrogen bonds help hold the two strands of DNA together in a stable double helix structure. Without hydrogen bonds, the DNA molecule would not be able to maintain its shape and function properly as the genetic material of the cell.

The site where the old DNA strands separate and new DNA strands will be synthesized is called the?

The site where the old DNA strands separate and new DNA strands are synthesized is called the replication fork. This is where the enzyme DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand.


Who are copies of DNA made and need a picture of it to?

DNA is copied in a process called DNA replication. During DNA replication, the two strands of the DNA molecule separate. Then free DNA nucleotides pair with their complimentary nucleotides according to the base-pairing rule on each of the old strands of DNA. Once the process is complete, the result is two identical DNA molecules, each with one old strand of DNA and one new strand of DNA. Refer to the related link for an illustration.


What are the two strands DNA held by?

The two strands of DNA are connected by hydrogen bonds.


If the DNA strands are matched up what does that mean?

This means the two strands of DNA are complementary.
