E) a hybrid molecule consisting of both ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During DNA replication, each newly made strand is complementary in sequence to the strand from which it was copied. This means that if the parental strand has an A nucleotide, the new strand will have a T nucleotide at the corresponding position, and vice versa. This ensures that each DNA molecule contains a complete and accurate copy of the genetic information carried by the parental DNA.
