Which best describes the outcome of dna replication? the new dna molecule consists of one strand of dna. the new dna molecule accumulates a new strand of dna with each replication. the new dna molecule consists of one new strand and one old strand of dna. the new dna molecule contains new dna, and the old molecule keeps the old dna.

The correct answer is the third statement.

Explanation:

The replication of DNA refers to a biological phenomenon, which produces two similar molecules of DNA that are the replicas of the original molecule of DNA. The double-stranded DNA gets distinguished into two template strands. Each of the template strand functions as a guiding strand for generating a counterpart known as a complementary strand.  

The complementary and the template strands attach with each other to produce a new double-stranded DNA. Thus, the new molecule of DNA comprises one new strand (complementary strand) and one old strand (template strand) of DNA.  

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
