Define each of the following terms:

DNA replication

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone, let's take a look at this question together. What is the true statement regarding the process of DNA replication? So let's recall what we've learned about what DNA replication is to try to figure out which of the following statements is true. So we know that DNA replication refers to the process of taking a DNA strand and replicating it to end up with an identical copy. And so looking at the following statements, we can try to figure out which of the following is true. We'll answer choice. A says the process that uses an RNA template to form a poly peptide, which we know is incorrect because this is the process of translation and not DNA replication. So it is incorrect. Answer. Choice B says the process that uses a DNA template to form D N A. When we know that the process of using a DNA template to create another copy of D N A is the process of D N A replication which makes answer choice B the correct answer since it is a true statement regarding the process of D N A replication. And we know that answer choices C and D are incorrect because the process that uses a DNA template to make RNA is the process of transcription. And the process that uses an RNA template to form D N A is the process of reverse transcription. And so the only answer choice here that represents the process of DNA replication is answer choice B because it is the process that uses a DNA template to form D N A. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
