The Watson-Crick Model of the DNA Double-Helix Led to the Prediction

Multiple Choice

The Watson-Crick model of the DNA double-helix led to the prediction that DNA replication is semi-conservative because

A) the phosphate backbones could be easily broken and rejoined.
B) the double-helix can assume either B-form or Z-form higher order structure before DNA replication.
C) each strand could serve as a template for daughter strand synthesis producing pairs of identical molecules.
D) the hydrogen bonds would stabilize important intermediates that arise during synthesis.
E) it would position the reactive OH favorably for formation of the phosphodiester bond.
