Statement I: If each strand from a parental DNA acts as template for synthesis of a new strand, the two double stranded daughter DNA thus produced would be identical to the parental DNA molecule. Statement II: The length of DNA double helix in a typical mammalian cell is calculated simply by multiplying the total number of bp with distance between two consecutive bp.
