5'-3' : One strand
During DNA replication, two strands of the double-stranded DNA molecule are unwound and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand, resulting in the formation of two new DNA molecules, each composed of one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
Two strands of DNA are used to make complementary DNA during the process of DNA replication. This involves separating the two original DNA strands and using each as a template to build a new complementary strand.
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.
we started with a single strand DNA molecule.
DNA Polymerase is the enzyme that seperates the two strands so that messenger RNA can read the genetic information of the DNA. The mRNA then moves two tranfer RNA so that Protien synthesis may occur.
During genetic replication, two DNA strands are typically involved.
At the beginning of DNA replication there are two strands of DNA nucleotides.
Genetic replication involves two DNA strands.

DNA consists of two strands that are twisted together in a double helix structure. These strands contain genetic information in the form of genes, which determine an organism's traits and characteristics. The pairing of the strands allows for the accurate replication and transmission of genetic information during cell division and reproduction.
DNA helicase unwinds the DNA strands in transcription; helicases also serve many other functions when the separation of two nucleic acid strands are required.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_helicase
because it just is
an error in DNA replication would affect many generations of cells
Absolutely they are affected. Infinitely many strands. Many variables go into how severe the birth defects will be.

Each human chromosome is typically replicated in multiple sections called replication origins. These origins are sites along the chromosome where the DNA double helix unwinds and new DNA strands are synthesized during DNA replication.
