Q31 - DNA replication

Replication is the process through which: A) RNA is used as a template to synthesise proteins B) Daughter cells are formed from a mother cell C) RNA is used as a template to synthesise new RNA molecules D) DNA is used as a template to synthesise new RNA molecules E) DNA is used as a template to synthesise new DNA molecules

The correct answer is E) DNA is used as a template to synthesise new DNA molecules.

Replication is DNA copying itself: each strand is a template for a new one, so each new double helix has one old and one new strand.

The options are just the other "DNA/RNA → something" processes in disguise: D is transcription, A is translation, and B is cell division.
