DNA replication results in two new DNA molecules. Each of these new molecules

A) has two newly synthesized strands of nucleotides.
B) has one strand of nucleotides from the parent DNA and one newly synthesized strand of nucleotides.
C) has two strands of nucleotides from the parent.
D) has a single strand of nucleotides.
E) are incomplete copies of the original.

Nucleotides

Organic molecules that are the building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA; consisting of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and one or more phosphate groups.

DNA Replication

The process by which a cell duplicates its DNA, ensuring each new cell receives an exact copy.

Parent DNA

The DNA molecule that serves as a template for the synthesis of new DNA strands during cell replication.
