Which statment best summarizes the purpose of the process of DNA
replication?
As nucleotides match up with the DNA code,
amino acids sequence to form the appropate
protein
A new mRNA molecule is manufactured that
will carry a copy of the DNA's message to the
ribosome
Two DNA molecules, containing the same
genetic code as the original DNA molecule, are
produced.
New DNA molecules are formed that have new
sequences of DNA nucleotides from the
original

Two DNA molecules, containing the same genetic code as the original DNA molecule, are produced.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a very important process that must occur in every living cell prior to cellular division. It is the process by which a DNA molecule makes another copy of itself i.e. duplicates itself, to form two identical molecules of DNA.

In the process of DNA replication, the double-stranded molecule first unwinds to form two single strands of DNA. Each DNA strand serves as a template for making another complementary strand of DNA. At the end of replication, each copy of DNA molecule contains one new strand and one old strand. Both copies contain the same genetic code as the original DNA molecule.
