Questions and Answers

Why is DNA replication necessary?

  • To show the specific order that bases occur in a chromosome
  • To produce different arrangements of nucleotides in living organisms
  • To ensure both new cells will have the correct DNA (correct)
  • To provide the key to genetic diversity among living organisms

When does DNA replication occur?

  • During the S phase of interphase (correct)
  • During the G1 phase of interphase
  • During the G2 phase of interphase
  • During the M phase of interphase

What is the role of DNA in providing genetic diversity among living organisms?

  • Creating different arrangements of nucleotides (correct)
  • Producing two identical complementary strands in DNA replication
  • Ensuring the specific order of bases in a chromosome
  • Serving as a template for protein structure
