During the S Phase of Interphase, the State of a Eukaryotic

Question

During the S phase of interphase, the state of a eukaryotic chromosome can be described as
A)a single continuous linear double helix.
B)a double helix replicating semiconservatively.
C)a double helix replicating conservatively.
D)a triple helix replicating semiconservatively.
E)two linear single-stranded molecules.

Accepted Answer

During the S phase of interphase in eukaryotic cells, chromosomes replicate in a semiconservative manner. This means that each of the two new double helices formed contains one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
