When DNA replicates, each strand of the original DNA molecule is used as a template for the synthesis of a second, complementary strand. Compare and contrast the replication of the two new strands, listing and explaining at least one similarity and one difference in the methods of synthesis.

See the answer below

Explanation:

A typical double-stranded DNA consists of a leading and a lagging strand with 5' to 3' direction and 3' to 5' direction respectively. During replication, a RNA primer binds to each strand at the replication origin and DNA polymerase enzyme adds complementary nucleotides to the primer to elongate the new strand until the end of each strand is reached.

The replication process of the two strands are similar such that:

The replication of the two strands are different in a certain way:

it would lead to upper respiratory infections and pneumonia.

during the process of dna replication, brdu can replace thymidine and incorporate into the newly synthesized dna, cell proliferation thus can be reflected in the extent of brdu incorporation.
