Question
- A. It links bond formation directly to DNA replication and explains explain why semi-conservative replication maintains genetic continuity using precise A-Level Biology terminology.
- B. It gives a general definition of dna replication without applying it to bond formation.
- C. It describes an unrelated biological molecule and leaves the named evidence out of the answer.
- D. It reverses the relationship in the objective and treats the consequence as the cause.
Answer
Correct answer: It links bond formation directly to DNA replication and explains explain why semi-conservative replication maintains genetic continuity using precise A-Level Biology terminology.
Explanation
It links bond formation directly to DNA replication and explains explain why semi-conservative replication maintains genetic continuity using precise A-Level Biology terminology. This is historically generated as an A-Level Biology explanation but remains anchored to the learning objective: Explain why semi-conservative replication maintains genetic continuity. The distractors are incorrect because they either stay generic, switch to an unrelated molecule, or reverse cause and effect. In an exam answer, the biological claim must be connected to evidence from bond formation, not just repeated as a definition.
