How many strands are replicated in DNA replication?
Two - the leading strand and the 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.
What is a wire made of many strands?
a cable.
How many strands of DNA are used to make complementary strands of DNA?
i believe its 2. correct me if im wrong
How many DNA strands do have in most cells?
DNA consists of two strands of nucleotides twisted into a double helix.
How many strands are replicated in DNA replication?
Two - the leading strand and the lagging strand.
How many strands are there at the beginning of DNA replication?
At the beginning of DNA replication there are two strands of DNA nucleotides.
During DNA replication why are there many replication forks?
because it just is

Why is it important to check for during DNA replication than during translation?
an error in DNA replication would affect many generations of cells
Are the dna strands of an unborn child damage if the mother is on herion during her pregency and how many strands are affected?
Absolutely they are affected. Infinitely many strands. Many variables go into how severe the birth defects will be.
How many times does DNA replicate in mitosis?
DNA replication occurs once during mitosis. Replication also occurs once during meiosis even though there are 2 divisions that happen.
How many stands make up DNA double helix?
The DNA double helix contains two coiled biopolymer strands. The double helix was discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick.
How many strands DNA strands does HPV have?
2 strands in total I believe.
How many rounds of chromosome replication occur in the cell?
how many rounds of chromosome replication occur i the cell pirior to mitosis
What is the wire made of many strands?
Wire made of many strands is 'cable'
DNA replication involves producing new copies of DNA molecules. How many individual DNA strands exist after one molecule of DNA has been replicated?
DNA is made of 2 strands so when it replicates the strands separate and 2 new strands complete the old strands. leaving 4 strands making 2 sets of DNA, both sets of DNA consist of one old strand and one new strand.- Sierra A. Buchanan
