A double-stranded DNA molecule separates, and each strand is used as a template for a new complementary strand. What best explains how the original information can be recovered from either strand?
A
Both strands lose their bases before copying, so information is recreated randomly.
B
Each strand contains amino acid monomers that directly rebuild DNA.
C
Complementary base-pairing rules make each strand's sequence sufficient to specify its partner.
D
The sugar-phosphate backbone alone specifies every base in the partner strand.
