By What Process is DNA is Synthesized

Question

By what process is DNA is synthesized?
A)semiconservative replication
B)conservative replication
C)translation
D)transcription
E)translocation

Accepted Answer

Semiconservative replication is the process by which DNA is synthesized. In this process, each newly synthesized double-stranded DNA molecule consists of one parental strand and one newly synthesized strand. This process ensures that the genetic information is accurately transmitted from one generation to the next. Conservative replication is a hypothetical process that has been disproven by experimental evidence, and translation and transcription are processes involved in protein synthesis rather than DNA synthesis. Translocation is a term used to describe movement of genetic material between two non-homologous chromosomes.
