Questions: DNA BIOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY • DNA AND RNA STRUCTURE INTRODUCTION LABORATORY SIMULATION E. Ribose What is the product of DNA replication? A. Two daughter DNA molecules. B. One polypeptide chain of amino acids. C. One DNA molecule and one RNA molecule. D. One RNA molecule. The process of forming RNA from a template strand of DNA is called Fill in the blank. A. conjugation B. translation

The answer to the first question is A: Two daughter DNA molecules.

Explanation for each option: A. Two daughter DNA molecules - Correct. DNA replication results in the formation of two identical daughter DNA molecules, each containing one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. B. One polypeptide chain of amino acids - Incorrect. This describes the product of translation, not DNA replication. C. One DNA molecule and one RNA molecule - Incorrect. DNA replication produces two DNA molecules, not an RNA molecule. D. One RNA molecule - Incorrect. This describes the product of transcription, not DNA replication.

The process of forming RNA from a template strand of DNA is called transcription.

Explanation for each option: A. Conjugation - Incorrect. Conjugation is a process in bacteria where genetic material is transferred between bacterial cells. B. Translation - Incorrect. Translation is the process of synthesizing a polypeptide chain of amino acids from an mRNA template.

Summary: The product of DNA replication is two daughter DNA molecules. The process of forming RNA from a template strand of DNA is called transcription.
