The conservative model of DNA replication stated that the parental double helix would _ and generate DNA copies consisting of entirely new molecules:
Correct answer: B. Remain intact
- A. Be disrupted
- B. Remain intact
- C. Be opened
- D. Remain partially intact
Explanation
According to conservative replication, the entire parental DNA duplex is conserved, and a completely new duplex is formed.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
