To simplify:

the DNA molecule unzips and divides into 2 strands,

then the replication makes the complements of each

strand to make 2 full DNA daughter chromosomes,

so half the parent DNA ends up in each daughter chromosome.

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.


What are the two halves of a double chromosome structure called?

The two halves of a chromosome are called chromatids, or, more fully, sister-chromatids.Each sister-chromatid contains one molecule of DNA. The two DNA molecules of one chromosome are, barring occasional copying errors, genetically identical, because they were formed from the same original DNA molecule at the most recent replication.


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 parent cell diploid a characteristic of meiosis not mitosis?

Mitosis starts with a diploid parent cell and ends with two diploid daughter cells. Meiosis starts with a diploid parent cell and ends with haploid daugther cells. The number of cells produced depends on the type of gamete being generated.


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.

Which is not a likely method of DNA replication as determined by the structure of DNA?

Non-conservative replication is not a likely method of DNA replication as determined by the structure of DNA. This method would involve the complete replacement of both strands in each daughter DNA molecule and is not supported by the semi-conservative model proposed by Watson and Crick.


How many daughter cells molecule contain how many strands of DNA?

Daughter cells produced from cell division, such as mitosis, each contain the same number of DNA strands as the original parent cell. In humans, for example, a diploid parent cell with 46 chromosomes will produce two daughter cells, each with 46 chromosomes, maintaining the same genetic information. Therefore, each daughter cell contains two strands of DNA per chromosome, resulting in a total of 92 DNA strands per daughter cell.


What is the chromosome number in the daughter cell?

The chromosome number for daughter cells resulting from mitosis is the same as the parent cell.

What does a cell copy in DNA replication?

In DNA replication, a cell copies the entire DNA double helix molecule, including both strands of the DNA. This allows for the accurate transmission of genetic information from parent to daughter cells during cell division.


Which step of binary fission is the reason for genetically identical daughter cells?

The replication and segregation of the genetic material during binary fission ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the parent cell's DNA. This process maintains genetic similarity between the two resulting cells.


What is experimentel proof for semi conservative replication?

Semi-conservative replication is the theory that states that during cellular division one of each of the parent strands is transmitted to each daughter cell along with one copy strand. This provides one original copy to each daughter cell. This theory is strongly supported by experimental autoradiographic evidence whereby a radioactive tracer in the parent DNA is diluted out by one-half in each subsequent division.


How many chromosome does each daughter cell contain after mitosis if the parent cell had 52 original cell chromosome?

Each daughter cell will have 52 chromosomes. This is because mitosis produces daughter cells which are genetically identical to the parent cell. Therefore they will have the same number of chromosomes.
