5. During DNA replication

A. The two DNA strands separate, each strand then becomes atemplate for the assembly of a similar strand. Each new DNA helixhas one old strand with one new strand.

B. The two DNA strands separate, each strand then becomes atemplate for the assembly of a similar strand. Each new DNA helixhas two new strands.

C. The two DNA strands separate, each strand then becomes atemplate for the assembly of a complementary strand. Each new DNAhelix has one old strand with one new strand.

D. The two DNA strands separate, each strand then becomes atemplate for the assembly of an identical strand. Each new DNAhelix has one old strand with one new strand.
