New copies of DNA have to be identical to the original strand so that the cells can function properly. If mistakes are made in DNA replication, it could cause a mutation to occur. In body cells, that means the possibility of tumors, including cancer. In gametes (sperm and egg cells), this could mean are very harmful genetic disorder, or it could be so bad that the organism produced by fertilization may not be able to survive.

When DNA splits a new 'what' of DNA is formed?
When DNA splits, two new strands of DNA are formed through a process called DNA replication. Each new strand is complementary to the original strand, resulting in two identical copies of the DNA molecule.
How many copies of DNA result in Replication?
During DNA replication, one original double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical double-stranded DNA molecules. Therefore, after replication, there are two copies of DNA formed from the original. Each new double helix consists of one original strand and one newly synthesized strand, a process known as semi-conservative replication.
How many strands of DNA did you start with and end with?
we started with a single strand DNA molecule.
How many strands are replicated in DNA replication?
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.
What is the role of the DNA new strand?
It is a copy of the Dna original strand.

If you compare the original DNA to the two copies that are made after replication occurs what would you find?
Unless mutation occur the two copies of DNA that are made after replication are identical to its original form. Thus continuous replication of DNA in the chromosomes does not alter its nature.

The replication of DNA molecules results in four copies of the same gene?
During DNA replication, a double-stranded DNA molecule is unwound and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. This results in two identical DNA molecules, each containing one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. So, the result of DNA replication is two identical copies of the original DNA molecule, not four copies of the same gene.
How many strands are replicated in DNA replication?
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.
What is the role of the DNA new strand?
It is a copy of the Dna original strand.
During DNA replications a complementary strand of DNA is made for each original DNA strand thus if a portion of the original strand is CCTAGCT then the new strand will be?
GGATCGA. Each base in the original DNA strand pairs with its complementary base (A with T and C with G) in the new strand during DNA replication.
What small DNA strand makes a copy of itself?
A virus is a small strand of DNA or RNA that copies itself.
DNA undergoes a process called when it is duplicated?
DNA replication
How is anything genetically modified?
Scientists have the means to extract the DNA strand from a cell. Once the DNA strand is removed, it can be altered, then placed back into the cell. When the cell divides and multiplies - the new copies will retail the altered DNA rather than having the original.
What is the 2nd stand matching DNA?
The 2nd strand matching DNA refers to the strand that can pair with the original DNA sequence through complementary base pairing. In DNA replication, this matching strand is synthesized by DNA polymerase according to the sequence on the original template strand.
