The diagram below shows an enzyme unwinding DNA strands for replication. What is the outcome for each DNA strand at the end of replication?

• Each strand will degrade to form a different type of nucleotide.

• Each strand will be translated to build protein molecules.

• Each strand will separate to make two single-stranded DNA molecules.

• Each strand will serve as a template for producing a complementary DNA strand.
